(For more information on Marianna Pascal's English Fast & Easy series, visit her Facebook page: )br br Marianna wrote to me and said that she thought a great word for one of my "quick fixes" would be PROBABLY.br br Probably is 3 syllables with word stress on the first syllable, PRO.br There is vowel reduction in the second syllable, 'buh'. Pro-buh-blee.br br There are some common errors with this word. Native speakers sometimes cut this word down to 2 syllables instead of 3, saying PRO-blee instead of PRO-buh-blee. This isn't the clearest pronunciation of the word, so I would always suggest to clearly articulate all three syllables.br br Let's use this word in a few sentences:br We can probably come to the party on Saturday.br You probably don't need to buy two of those.br I think she's probably getting sick.br br There you have it! Probably - in under 60 seconds. br br If you'd like to learn more about clear speech and pronunciation, please visit me at and sign up for my free, 8-part Pronunciation Short Course.
