A short YouTube tutorial by Hadar Shemesh explaining how she pronounces the word "interesting." She breaks the word into syllables and describes segmental sounds and stress ("IN-trə-sting"), notes the t→ch-like change before /r/, and comments briefly on optional final /g/ pronunciation.
How to pronounce the word Interesting. This is an interesting question, my friends. I'm glad you asked it. There are several ways to pronounce this word. I'm going to teach you the way I pronounce this word because I think that's the easiest way. The first syllable is in an a sound and an n in as in come in because it's the primary stress, it's going to be higher in pitch than the rest and a little longer in. Then we have trouble a t sound in r and a schwa tr when the t appears before an r it becomes a ch sound as in cherry intra and then finally we have sting just like what the b has a sting, an s sound, a t an ng at the end sting. Notice you don't have to pronounce the g at the end. Not sting necessarily. Not a big deal if you pronounce it, but sting. Interesting, interesting.
