To understand spoken English, you need to understand the rhythm of English.

To understand the rhythm of English, you need to understand stress.

To understand stress, you need to understand syllables.

    Hi Melanie,
    Thanks for this. I am studying TEFL, and I am learning about stressed and unstressed words this evening. Your video came at the right time. You have
    really helped me. I never realized how difficult it must be for someone to learn
    English as a second language. This is helping me to understand what they
    have to go through to learn our language.

    Thank you Mélanie for this valable video. It really helps. For me, I just imitate speakers when I listen a video. New words are very hard to learn because I never know how to prononce them.
    Take care and a big hello from Switzerland I really miss Canada!
