How to sound convincing in English?

Jul 13, 2023

If you want to sound convincing, use a word that will make people want to hear what you're planning to communicate.
You’ll probably make the right choice as you've been exploring different phrases for a while, but my recommendation for you today is the word - advocate.

You need to know how to pronounce this word if you intend to sound confident.
👉🏻/ˈæd.və.keɪt/
1. You start with the "æ" sound like in 'cat.' Don't forget that you put stress on the first syllable:ˈæd 🔔
2. və - V -like a volcano 🌋followed by shwa, "ə." Some teachers call it a "lazy" sound. Why? Because it's weak and unstressed, almost skipped while speaking fast. Where can you find this reduced sound? In words such as fər, əbout, thə.
3. The last part - keɪt (the last one sounds like the name Kate)
💫Once again! /ˈæd + və +keɪt/
What does the word advocate mean? 👉🏻Support or suggest an idea of doing something.
For example, I advocate using authentic resources while exploring the language.
What do you advocate?
