In this American English pronunciation video,
you’re going to get even better at speaking

with rhythmic contrast. We’re going to practice
two-syllable words with second syllable stress.

過去進行形

First, if you were just going to watch this
video, don’t. That would be very boring.

This video only works if you’re willing
to practice your English out loud. So, if

you’re somewhere where you can’t do that,
make sure to come back to this video later.

When learning English as a second language,
most people don’t make unstressed syllables

as fast, low in pitch, or quiet as they should.
The tendency is to over-pronounce them. But

that’s not good English. In English we have
clearer stressed syllables, DA, and less clear

unstressed syllables, da. So for these syllables,
don’t be afraid to be less clear.

In this video, we’re just going to do two-syllable
words with second syllable stress, like this:

da-DA, da-DA, da-DA. That’s all you’re
going to hear. You’re going to get into

a groove with the rhythm. After each repetition
of the word, repeat it just like you hear

it. Don’t over-pronounce the unstressed
syllables. This going to move quickly. See

affect, da-DA, affect
include, da-DA, include

yourself, da-DA, yourself
suggest, da-DA, suggest

agree, da-DA, agree
believe, da-DA, believe

response, da-DA, response
provide, da-DA, provide

Now we’re going to go back to the beginning
and just do the words one time each. Repeat

each word, and don’t worry too much about
the sounds. This is a drill exercise in rhythm.

Now we’re going to go back to the beginning
and just do the words one time each, with

a short sentence. Repeat the word and the
sentence, keeping the right rhythm when it’s

okay – It’s okay.
undo – We can undo it later.

about – I’m about to.
affect – It’ll affect everything.

include – We’ll include it.
yourself – Just be yourself.

suggest – I suggest we try again.
today – We’ll start today.

apply – He’ll apply tomorrow.
agree – I agree completely.

believe – I believe it.
response – The response was positive.

I couldn’t hear you, but I bet you did really
great. This video is part of a series where

we take words with the same stress, and practice
a bunch of them at once. It’s a drilling

exercise. You want to do it over and over
until the stress pattern feels natural. Click

the link here or in the description below
to see other videos in this series. The more

you practice while working on stress, the
more natural you’ll sound to Americans.

So when you’re learning vocabulary, organize
the words in lists by stress. Practice words

of the same stress together to get into that
groove.

syllable stress can you think of? Put them
