Description
Why is it SO HARD to understand native speakers? And what do you HAVE to know to improve your spoken English and get your point across clearly and confidently?
In this episode, you will learn the 3 fundamentals of American intonation: melody, rhythm, and stress.
You’ll learn how to use melody and rhythm to stress words, you’ll learn the difference between content words and function words, why we need to stress content words and how we reduce function words. This episode will also help you understand native speakers better, as we’ll talk about common reductions and shortcuts (remember that English sounds different than how it’s written).

You can also download an interactive list of 50 of the most mispronounced words in English and master the pronunciation of those tricky words.
