Notice! — The pronunciation of any word in English (or any language at all) is not Universal. This is because there are many different dialects of The English Language — both throughout America, and also world-wide. The pronunciations that are presented on this site are based-upon a combination of both common usage, and the most neutral accent used in The International Common Tongue (which sounds very-much like “American English” but is more “International”).
Pronunciation Of The Word “Educational”
Educational – For this word: The “E” is short; the “d” is pronounced like the soft letter “g” (this is due to the placement of the letter “u” directly after it); the “u” is pronounced as a true-schwa; the “c” is hard; and for the “-ate” suffix – the “a” is a True Long “A”, and the “t” merges with the “-tion” suffix –; and for the “-tion” suffix — the “ti” combination is pronounced like the un-voiced “sh” combination, and the “o” is pronounced as an i-schwa (this is the standard pronunciation of this suffix in The Common Tongue); and for the “-al” suffix — the “a” is pronounced as a TRUE-Schwa.
