This was very clear and concise.
I was looking for examples for my students here in Thailand and saw many videos, Your was very clear and easy to understand for them.
They are new to syllables, stress timing and rhythm.
This will help them very much.
Thank you Julia.

Aren't all songs in most languages stress timed? I have heard Spanish songs with stress on the 'keyword'.

This lesson is interesting .
Example: Yesterday Kady broke her arm at school. Her teacher sent her to the doctor at 12.00.
I have eaten well with my new friends

1:34 - I see a slight mistake here. The word "than" has strong form /ðæn / and weak form /ðən/.
The pattern most students should see is that most weak forms heavily rely on the unstressed neutral vowel sound, otherwise known as the schwa sound: /ə/

[oscarmas]

Interesting. So "than" might have both strong/weak forms. I can come up with an example of a strong "than". Help!

Is this why spanish sounds so much faster?
