Показать описание
Improve your word stress in American English and learn English rhythm for clear pronunciation. Word stress, also known as syllable stress, is absolutely essential if you want to speak English more clearly. When you correctly stress words in English, native speakers will understand you better. In this video, you'll learn why word stress is so important, find out how to identify stressed syllables using the dictionary (or Google), and see and practice examples of syllable stress in words of different lengths.

You'll learn the difference between stress-timed languages and syllable-timed languages. You'll understand what we mean by primary stress, secondary stress, unstressed syllables, and reduced syllables, as well as the importance of clearly pronouncing vowel sounds on stressed syllables by making them longer, louder, and higher in pitch. By practicing examples of word stress on one, two, three, four, and five syllable words, you'll know how to emphasize stressed syllables. You'll also learn why you should tune your ear to word stress in order to understand native English speakers.

Thanks a million Kim!! It has been one of the best English videos I've ever seen. I've been learning English for almost my entire life but until now I started to pay attention to stress and intonation. You speak fast but I can understand every word you say, I'm thrilled about it!

You've summed up all the essential points that an ESL student needs to be careful with. I've been working on my accent acquisition for some time now and you've addressed all the pitfalls that one may experience. You understand this process well. Great content!

American English is my mother tongue and I live plus grew up in the northern parts of the US, but I need to practice this, I miss-enunciate my words on occasion and people sometimes cannot understand me.

I can be pretty monotone at times. But either way, I find it interesting to look at my own language, American English, and see what's fascinating about it, I want to see what people of other lingos find what's interesting about English.

My list of languages I am going to acquire into my personality, and study is the Spanish language and the Japanese language.

Hi Kim, great video.
I think that is essential understand how to stress words in English if you want to reduce your accent. I'm Italian and I struggle with finding the right stress, melody and even rhythm when I speak English.
However I'm trying to overcome that problem surrounding my self by English.
