- In this lesson, you can learn about syllables and stress in English.
Do you know what stress means? It’s one of the most important pronunciation points in English.
When you speak English, do other people find it difficult to understand what you’re saying? If so, you might not be using stress correctly.
Pronouncing words with the correct stress can make a big difference to your English: your English will immediately sound clearer and more natural.
NOTE: there is an error at 1:41 - the stress marker in the IPA transcription of 'banana' should be on the 2nd syllable, rather than the 1st: /bə'nɑːnə/.

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.
So glad you found the lesson useful, Midas! Thanks for the support!
Logically has 2 syllables -logic and lly
Most of english teachers in Indonesia don't speak English well and the way they teach is bad.
@@mustafizrahman9291 I am nine months late but, to everyone else reading this, logically actually has 4 syallbles , lo( pronounced like lah),gi,ca,lly. Remember that when counting syallbles , each syallbles ,uss have only *one* vowel and one or more consonant sounds. When you say logic as one syallble , you are including 2 vowels.Try pronouncing it clearly, you will hear both the aah sound , (meaning the vowel a) and eek sound meaning the vowel e. Hence 2 vowels are included instead of 1.
Hope that clears it.
me too :(
This lesson was taught to me in high school by a volunteer English teacher from British Council 50 years ago. I could still remember him very well. A tall guy who spoke very clearly and slowly so that non-native speakers like us could understand.
Can I edit your video?
My advice is to not learn rules and exceptions, it's confusing.
Treat every word on its own. Practice listening, speaking, reading aloud. In time you'll learn them bit by bit and pronounce instinctively.
Don't stress about making mistakes, it's normal, as speaking in a foreign language is like growing a child in your head, with it's own voice and way of thinking. It took you years to speak your native language, it will take years to learn a new one.
You are amazing
Thanks a lot man for your motivation
thanks for your advice bro. it really gives me confidence and patience.
But rules can help you learn things more quickly - you don't have to look up the dictionaries to find where to stress every time.
@@yvettecrystal6075 100% fact. For some his advice might learn but honestly... just follow the rules and if a word is the exception to the rules you've learned then that is a word ull just have to remember. Rules makes things easy to learn when it comes to languages.
And here i am a day before exam.
Thumbs up for both the young teachers, kudos and love!! From India. Very informative!
Makduss '' means .it is food in arabic
Makduss.. Peper and nuts Arabic
And eggplants
Eggplants empty of (things inside it) then heat eggplants in water
Cleaning Eggplants then put salt inside Eggplants and put peper .. Cut peper .. Like 'pieces)
Then put pepers inside eggplants
Well done.
Oxford online English is one of the most important thing to learn English ... I love to listen them and learn new things everyday ...
Jagjeet singh I am wondering, do you have other useful and well-explained English learning resources like this channel that you can share with me ? That will be helpful to me , thank you in advance!
@@18meiy13 I have lots of English channel .. why do you want to learn English ? For IELTS or just for daily life ? I will suggest you accordingly 😊
_is one of the most important thing_ is wrong.
*one of* is always followed by plural as you are referring to one of several
@@Jagjeetsingh-ed6sc _lots of English channel_ => _lots of English channels (plural)_
@@johndelilo6038 thanks John for catching such a critical mistake
The more I try understand this, the harder it gets
But I'm getting better❤
Stress sounds are confusing, even though there are certain rules - therefore the best way to learn stress sounds is by listening and imitating
Thanks, your instructions are very helpful
Exactly!!!!
AND CHECKING IN DICTIONARY

Hello Trang how's the weather over there
Your swell lecture about stressed, unstressed syllables and pronunciation I heard spellbound, is undoubtedly deserved to be considered as one of extreme messages to the whole universe.. ❤
I am learning to speak english and this topic is very important in order to improve my english pronunciation. Thank you very much Teachers.
I would say a brilliant presentation on sentence and word stress. Thanks guys.. your words were like music to ears 👌👌🙏

Hello professor
Thank you so much for your priceless advice and interesting guidance
I've been looking for a broad overview of "syllables and word stress". This lesson is very helpful.
Thanks so much!
I have been a successful teacher of English who served in the best schools, I check the transcription even before checking the meaning; yet I miss- stress some words, like ( academic) only an American lady fixed it for me- on the third syllable. Thank you for this helpful video which I appreciate a lot more than an American equivalent one I had watched before. Love British English.
The best teachers for my literature degree
Thanks to you guys now I can understand the stress pattern skills in my English exam, especially the final one that is coming soon. I also get to learn how to pronounce better. Definitely going to keep following to improve my English
I really acknowledge your way of teaching. i hope this video will help non native speakers like me .
May God Preserve You
What a useful lesson
Thank you my respected teachers
Tomorrow is my English exam
And i was struggling to classify the stressed syllables
Thanks so much for rescuing
Obviously ! The most important and useful thing I find to learn pronunciation better is to learn the IPA. With the help of IPA I can pronounce any word without having any problem.
the most important thing we need to speak correctly english is the notion about stress. Thank you for this lesson.
One of the most informative videos about word stress! Great job! I like difference in accents too.
we normally speak complicated part of English which is so so confusing
But this video really taught me a lot👍🏿👏🏾
Thank you so much, as a non native speaker, I have truly learnt a lot about stress.
Very thanks.I learn a lot about stress from this lesson.
Thank you for teachers. It's useful to learn pronuciation.
How informative!!!!. These should be known for me loooooo...ng time ago. Thank you booth.
This video mads the lesson can be learnt effortlessly
YOU ARE A GOOD TEACHER GOD BLESS YOU
I love the details and the very clear presentation. thank you very much.
I think intonation, proper stress, grammar words and content words are the most important pronunciation skills that we need speak clearly in english
Ur teaching skills are beyond imagination
Thank you so much 🥰 you are explaining the lesson in easy way and thank you for you're efforts ❤️ God bless you
I really enjoyed this class.
So helpful. Thanks ❤️
thank you OOE TEACHERS now i'll have an answer for my recitation on monday
I loved this lesson it helped me to understand how stressed syllables work thank you so much God will bless you 🥰😘👍👍👍👍👏😁😁😉😆
Ohh! Thx for this. I'm an B1 level student and getting problems in speaking that I don't know which words to stress. My teacher teaches me a lot but she doesn't have a particular time to teach me 'bout stress and I'm wondering after watching the video of my idols interview. They are not native speakers but one of them can speak efficiently and stressed all the words correctly but I can't so I googled it and I found this useful video. I believe that I can speak better than before and I can stress on the words correctly.
Lots of love from Myanmar.😇😊😊
thank you so much
Wow. Powerful content. You made it easy to understand for non-native English learners like me. I really appreciate your works, great teachers you put in a lot of effort in this session. I never came across such a lesson before this.
My main take away from this video is to Focus on the stress syllable and put more stress on it than you think you need.
Pronounce the unstress syllables as faster as I can. If I do this, I will have a contrast in my pronunciation and this will make my word stress more natural and clear.
We are so glad that the video we are getting absolutely for free, It could be worth $30 and more than that, but thanks to the technology, we are able to access such informative content.
More power to you teachers.
Answer to your question: Yes, as you told right in the beginning that stress is the most important pronunciation point in English, But in the later part of the video I got to know about Contrast that I think it is the most important thing in words by which we can stress the syllable and unstress too.
wa!!!!!qqq!??????aa
REAL STRESS IS WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW ENGLISH AND THEN YOUR TEACHER ASKS YOU TO TALK IN ENGLISH.
💔😂😂😂
pathum dilhara 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Your music has carried me away into deep grammar of syllables and stress. Keep working!🤩🤩❤❤❤
Scansion was a nightmare. I always omitted it from syllabus Because i was running away from it.
Now when I decided to face it . I found your videos and I must say I'm so thankful ☺️❤️🙏
Simply an outstanding work
Really it's an interesting lesson. In fact it shows obviously where the stress is and many syllables the word has and finally how to pronounce correctly the word , so let me say thank you for this best video .
Thank you so much for this most informative video. Adults learning a new language should be taught this before being taught grammar. It would make the teaching process much more pleasant.
Me and my sister were stuck with this syllabus, but you guys helped us with an easy method. We appreciate it. You’re guys are amazing🙏🙏🖤🖤
