Listen

Press record, say "mentioned" once or twice at normal speed, then stop. You will see which syllables matched and what to change.

## Mentioned syllables

Mentioned has 2 syllables: MEHN-shuhnd.

1. MEHN mɛn
2. shuhnd ʃənd

The -ed is a single d sound: MEN-shund.

The -ed ending is pronounced as a d, not as a separate syllable, because the sound before it is voiced.

## Sounds to watch

### Weak syllables

The unstressed syllables use a short, relaxed uh (schwa). Rushing through them lightly is correct; giving them a full vowel sounds unnatural.

### The sh sound

Sh is made further back than s, with the lips slightly rounded and the tongue lower. Keep it separate from s: "shun" is not "sun".

## Mentioned in a sentence

- You mentioned a deadline earlier; when is it?

These are the pronunciation patterns from Speakeroo’s speech feature catalog that this target tends to expose. The check above reports the ones it hears.

- Final -ed ending unclear Use the correct /t/, /d/ or /ɪd/ ending.
- 'sh' /ʃ/ too soft or unclear Round the lips slightly and produce continuous air along the centre of the tongue.
- Final consonant devoiced Keep the vocal folds vibrating through voiced endings such as /b/, /d/, /g/ and /z/.
- Consonant cluster reduced Build the cluster one sound at a time without deleting a member.
- Extra vowel after a consonant Finish directly on the consonant instead of adding a vowel.
