English Words for Tech Professionals
Are you an IT professional, developer, software engineer, automation engineer, project manager, or senior algorithm developer? I may have not added your profession to that list, but if you work in TECH - this is for you!
Here are TOP ENGLISH WORDS FOR TECH PROFESSIONALS:
1. Developer. (dih-vel-uh-per)
Primary stress in the second syllable -VEL. There is no strong E in the first syllable. D’-vel’... That O becomes a schwa, sounds like “ugh”. No E either, go straight to the R. “dih-vel-uh-per”
2.Editor.[ ed-i-der ]
Here the T is a flat T. And the flat T sounds just like a D in the middle of the word between two vowels. So, actually you have two sounds here that sound exactly the same. Listen… E-d’-d’r. The I is a short i sound. The O is a schwa. E-d’-i-d’r, not e-di-tor. Editor. Primary stress on the first syllable. This is where you go high in pitch. “ed-i-der”
3.Automation. [ aw-duh-mey-sh’n ]
. The most important feature here is the flat T cause there is no D. It actually sounds like a D. Aw-d’-. Not aa-to-may-sh’n, but aa-d’-may. Primary stress aa-d’may-sh’n, sh’n at the end, not SHUN. Automation.
4.Hardware. Software.[ hahrd-wair /sawft-wair ]
The first word is going to be a little higher in pitch and slower. Hard-wer. Saa-ft-wer. The second part is not reduced. It’s not hard-were like “we were eating”, but ‘where’, as in “where are you?” Hard-wer. So you need to slow it down here a little bit. Again, not hard-were and saaft-were. Take your time, stretch the words, open your mouth.
5.Framework.[ freym-wurk ]
Lots of R’s. Start with the nice strong R, round your lips: fray, /ei/ as in day – fraym-w’rk. Here you have no O, so it’s not ‘work’. Round your lips for the W, then pull the tongue in immediately for an R – w’rk. ‘Frame’ is going to be a little higher in pitch – Fraym-w’rk. Framework.
6.Infrastructure.[ in-fruh-struhk-cher ]
Infrastructure. So before saying this word just take a deep breath. Infrastructure. Primary stress is on the first syllable and then a lot of reduced syllables. The TU sounds like CH not a strong T. In-fr’-struk-ch’r. In-fr’-stuck-ch’r.
7.Engineer [ en-juh-neer ]
Here the primary stress is on the last syllable. En-j’-NEER. It is not ENgineer. en- juh-juh – schwa. En-j’-NEER, as in ‘here’, so it’s a long E, and then you relax it to an R Engineer.
8.Interface (in-er-feys)
The beginning is the word ‘inter’ like ‘internet’ or ‘international’. Now, when the T appears after an N it is often dropped. So you may say something like ‘inner’, ‘inner’, ‘innerface’ and then it’s just the word ‘face’ as in “look in her face”.
9.Security. (suh-kyoor-uh-dee )
Security primary stress is on the second syllable s’k-YU-r’ -dee. Here you want to combine the Y and the R – Y’R – to connect them: s’k-Y’R-ud-dee. And then you reduce it to a schwa sound, a flap T so it sounds like a D, and an E sound at the end: R-uh-dee, R-uh-dee, R-uh-dee. S’k-Y’R-uh-dee. Secure, Y’R-uh, as in “your name”. Security.
10. Technological (tek-nuh-lo-ji-kuhl )
Stress on lo ‘law’. The first o is actually a schwa sounds like ugh, not o. tech-nuh-LO. The g+i sounds like a j as in ‘juice. The a is a schwa again so tek-nuh-LO-ji-kuhl.
