5 tips to stress and sounds
Why do we sound different from native speakers? Because we ignore stress and sounds in our speech sometimes.
There are some tips to ease our pronunciation
1. There are content words like nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives in English.
2. There are function words like modals, pronouns, auxiliary words in English.
3. When we talk we should stress content words. Not all in the same way but still stress them.
4. And we do not stress function words. We pronounce them quickly without any stress in most cases.
5. When we speak we should divide our speech into tonic units. One tonic unit is any utterance between two pauses.
That's what helps me sound better and teach my students. Do you have any tips?
