How Do You Spell FREQUENTED?

Pronunciation: [fɹˈiːkwəntɪd] (IPA)

The word "frequented" is spelled with a "qu" followed by "en," which can be confusing for some learners of English. This is because the sound represented by "qu" in this word isn't a distinct "kw" sound, but rather a "k" sound followed by a very brief "w" sound, almost as if it were pronounced "kweh." The IPA transcription for the word is /frəˈkwɛntɪd/, with the stress on the second syllable. Despite its tricky spelling, "frequented" is a common and useful word for describing places, such as restaurants or stores, that are regularly visited.
