When I was young, why did my english teacher never teach me the most important part of english level like this? He left me confused. Sometimes I learn so much when native english speakers are talking with me, I pinpoint a lot the dos and the don'ts, and I'm like, wow, why their intonation in their pronunciation doesn't sound monotone and flat like mine does? They seem to sing it, and I like it. And right now, I get your video. Thank's, anyway. Never run out of ideas to help us improve our english skill ! Your video is so helpful to many million people who are not native, I'm one.
This video is wayyyy more better than my teachers stupid Powerpoint slide.
Your music has carried me away into deep grammar of syllables and stress. Keep working!🤩🤩❤❤❤
Contrast
Thank you for the great video. It is interesting that "comfortably" has four syllables and ends with "y", but the stress is on the first syllable. I am also confused.
Thank you so much i appreciate the lesson video, it really help me a lot both physically and mentally 😊
It is easier not to learn the formulas of 'Syllables and Word Stress' because they make us stressed. It's better to just follow feelings and instincts about which parts should be read with emphasis 😁
Wonderful🎉
It is good information,but don't details in here
Please can anyone tell me the stress of these words
1)refuse
2)rebel
3) record

The instructor explains the importance of stress in clear and natural English pronunciation and provides examples and practice exercises to help learners understand and apply stress correctly. The lesson also covers syllables and their connection to stress, as well as some rules for word stress in English.
Stress is one of the most important pronunciation points in English and can greatly impact how well others understand what you're saying.
Pronouncing words with correct stress can make your English sound clearer and more natural.
A syllable has one vowel sound and one or more consonant sounds.
In words with two or more syllables, one syllable is always stressed and has a stronger, clearer pronunciation.
The stressed syllable should be louder, a little higher, and a little longer in time.
Phonetic transcriptions can help identify the stress in words.
There are some rules for word stress in English, such as most nouns with two syllables having stress on the first syllable and most verbs with two syllables having stress on the second syllable.
Correct stress in English pronunciation is important for clear communication and understanding.
Understanding syllables and their connection to stress can help improve pronunciation.
Phonetic transcriptions can be found in dictionaries to identify word stress.
Practice over pronouncing stress can help ensure correct pronunciation.
Learning and applying word stress rules can improve overall pronunciation skills.
It’s good to know but to learn that it’s almost no chance if you don’t live where the language is spoken. Like USA, UK , Ireland or Australia etc…
The language must be part of our life 24h to get the stress under control.
I have a question plz
The words son monkey love o here is short u or schwa
the guy is super sexy and the girl too
On the other hand, for the word "tiring", the first syllable is highlighted in red. Since the first syllable is an open syllable (pronounced ('tai.ring), the r is part of the second syllable.
Hello, continuing your video, I noticed that you mentioned that the tonic accent for the word ''banana'' was on the second syllable, but previously you had put the apostrophe on the first syllable when it should have been before the second syllable.
In the dictionary, we note the tonic accent for the word banana on the second syllable, unlike you who put it on the first syllable???? Which is the correct answer? Thanks a lot!
So much stress in this video 😅😂
why are you mixing British accent with American accent? Don't you think it's a bit confusing us as learners? One is speaking clearly, one is not! I hope you can get rid of the unwanted and unacknowledged American accent and stick to good old British accent fron now on. American accent is unacceptablel, it's rude, it's crude and it's absolutely disgusting.
