Hadar Shemesh breaks down how to say "different" correctly. The first syllable is "diff" with a short i sound, the second is a schwa plus nt. Most people skip the final t entirely or release it with a puff of air.
How to pronounce the word different. This word has two syllables even though it has more vowel letters. So it might be a little confusing, but it's a lot easier than you think. The first syllable is diff diff diff a d sound, an E as in sit and an f diff diff diff and then the second syllable is runt runt runt An r sound, a schwa nt at the end runt runt Different. Even though there is an e in the middle, it's not different but different. Now if you want to get fancy, you can choose not to pronounce or to fully pronounce the t and just pronounce it as a health T at the end. Different. Did you hear it? I just abruptly stopped the n sound and that is the t at the end. The healthy Different. Different. It's a little more nasal. Different. Different. It's not that different, is it.
