DIFFERENT Pronunciation In American English

🤔 DIFFERENT

Are you saying this word wrong?

A lot of English learners make this mistake, but it’s easy to fix.

In American English, we say: DIF-rənt

It’s just 2 syllables: DIF-rənt

The first syllable is stressed: DIF-rənt

It’s not: Dif-er-ent.  It’s DIF-rənt

That’s much smoother: DIF-rənt

• This one is DIF-rənt.
• She has a DIF-rənt idea.
• We went to a DIF-rənt restaurant.
• Your pronunciation sounds DIF-rənt today.

Let’s practice. I’ll say blue. You say green.

• DIF-rənt
• This one is DIF-rənt.
• She has a DIF-rənt idea.
• We went to a DIF-rənt restaurant.

Is that DIF-rənt from how you say it?
