Common Mispronunciations of Established
Not i-STA-blish-ed
That -ed is a single t sound here, because sh has no voice in it, so the word ends blisht with no extra beat.
Not E-stuh-blisht
The force sits on beat two, STA, and the opening i is barely there.
Tip: Say establish, then stop it with a t: the sh and the t run together into one ending.
