To pronounce the words
1) Listen to the word. Pronounce the word silently.
2)See how many syllables the word has.
3) Ask yourself which syllable is stressed. Does the word have the schwa?
4) Think of the first syllable and proceed to pronounce it.
Continue with the rest of the word in the same fashion.
Trust your pronunciation. Sometimes we confuse letters with sounds. To avoid this problem don't focus on the spelling
of the word, go by the pronunciation.
