Words to stress correctly
| individually | in·di·VID·u·al·ly | /ɪndɪˈvɪdʒuəli/ |
| individuals | in·di·VID·u·als | /ɪndəˈvɪdʒəwəlz/ |
| practitioners | prac·TI·tion·ers | /prækˈtɪʃənɚz/ |
| contributions | con·tri·BU·tions | /kɑntrəˈbjuʃənz/ |

| contributed | con·TRIB·ut·ed | /kənˈtrɪbjutɪd/ |
42 words, aim 16–19 seconds. No numbers. Breathe after book, areas and individually; short pauses at the commas in the list and after indeed.
Where marks are usually lost
Stress in·di·VID·u·als and in·di·VID·u·al·ly on the third syllable, con·tri·BU·tions on the third, but con·TRIB·ut·ed, prac·TI·tion·ers and un·WIT·ting·ly on the second. Keep the -s on colleagues, students, practitioners, tourists, residents, areas, contributions and the -ed in contributed.
General tip: contributed and contributions shift stress—say them aloud as a pair before you record.
What it means: 中文 · हिन्दी · नेपाली · Tiếng Việt
中文: 许多人作为同事、学生、从业者、游客和目的地居民与我们分享想法，不知不觉中为本书做出了贡献。他们人数太多，无法一一致谢。而且，确实也无法准确区分出每个人的具体贡献。
हिन्दी: कई व्यक्तियों ने सहकर्मियों, छात्रों, पेशेवरों, पर्यटकों और गंतव्य क्षेत्रों के निवासियों के रूप में हमारे साथ विचार साझा करके अनजाने में इस पुस्तक में योगदान दिया है। वे इतने अधिक हैं कि उन्हें व्यक्तिगत रूप से धन्यवाद देना संभव नहीं। और वास्तव में, उनके विशिष्ट योगदान को ठीक-ठीक अलग करना संभव नहीं है।
नेपाली: धेरै व्यक्तिहरूले सहकर्मी, विद्यार्थी, पेशाकर्मी, पर्यटक र गन्तव्य क्षेत्रका बासिन्दाका रूपमा हामीसँग विचार बाँडेर अनजानमै यस पुस्तकमा योगदान गरेका छन्। उनीहरू यति धेरै छन् कि एक-एक गरी धन्यवाद दिन सम्भव छैन। र साँच्चै, उनीहरूको खास योगदान ठ्याक्कै छुट्याउन पनि सम्भव छैन।
Tiếng Việt: Nhiều cá nhân đã vô tình đóng góp cho cuốn sách này qua việc chia sẻ ý tưởng với chúng tôi với tư cách đồng nghiệp, sinh viên, người hành nghề, du khách và cư dân của các điểm đến.
