Thank you, Lisa, for including me in another video. It's always my pleasure to work with you and speak to your subscribers!

Rising intonation is for making questions and falling intonation is for making affirmative and imperative sentences. Proprer intonation is crucial.

The best English teacher!

Straight facts

Interesting video 😀 most ppl are heavily influenced by celebs who are often not too educated. They copy their dressing, manners and speaking style without second thoughts. This way so many pple end up making major mistakes while speaking.

Yes, that’s right.

If we are heavily influenced by entertainment industries and their media, chances are we speak "uptalk" more!

Hi Liza I caught myself talking like this in my tongue the Frensh. I would not do that but I have been speaking like this as I have been through hardships lately and this can contribute highly to cheap away in someone's confidence. My confidence has way been dwindelling Your lesson is usefull. Thanks a million and we really miss your precious lessons . Thanks to you I am able to write, speak and read English. It was a challenge for me.

I study English Language and English Literature & Culture in Norway, and when our professor (Australian) talked about intonation, he said Norwegians have a very interesting intonation with a lot of uptalk which makes us mix it into our English accent. He also said we need to be careful with uptalk to people with an English mother-tongue because they might think we mock them or we just annoy them (and that we might get hit in the face lol). It really depends on the Norwegian dialects too because no one speaks exactly like the written languages here. With phonetics I've been focusing on the American accent, and I try my best to not sound like a Kardashian. If you talk to a foreigner who does a lot of uptalk, they might be Norwegian as I believe we struggle with it the most in the world

Thanks Lisa; again. Since your previous excellent video a few years ago about the same subject, of which I referenced when participating in making a KZread clip named “Right Intonation;Wrong Intonation” in my first language, this “uptalk” has disseminated like a virus. Unfortunately it didn’t stay limited to doubtful personages, teen groups, political debates, celebrities, ESL speakers, but also more and more educated experts are talking that way. Imagine listening to a scientific topic or a reportage on national radio, and the speaker is doing such. It’s not always easy to move away from the conversation. Now in workplace meetings, when someone addresses me with that intonation, I have developed this behaviour to say: I’m not sure I’m following; was that a question or a statement?” And guess what; the speaker has no idea what am I intending, and the discussion cracks because it looks like I don’t understand the “English words” other members are using! I’ve done my share by explaining the example of “name the weekday” and then referring people to your first KZread video about this when possible, but cannot do so in the middle of all scenarios I get to be present at. Best Appreciation and Luck

Helpful 👍🏾

Thank You!

Thanks a lot for this useful video Lisa...🙏🏾🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹

all of your videos amazing.

Always informative ❤

When I hear some speak with “uptalk” intonation especially at workplace environment, it sounds as if they were talking with no confidence, indisposed and arrogant at the same time, unprofessional and has no commitment and responsibility related to the job. Nobody likes an "uptalker", comparing the normal intonation and the uptalk. it made so clear how a natural speaker sounds and how a person speaking with a forced and wrong intonation can be unprepared and totally misunderstood. I also used to speak like this, but I also watched a previous video about it, here and I try to avoid it, it's a nuance, a simple mistake, but makes all the difference.

Thanks mam.

Excellent

Wow how enjoyable listening you to ❤thanks both of you ❤

Nice information ❤

Superb❤❤

Helpful, it is.

Thank you, teacher, you have no idea how this has boosted my English pronunciation.

Uptalk is incredibly disengaging. Even worse, when uptalk comes alongside vocal fry!

Thanks for the new video, Lisa! But I would like to go deeper in this topic :) I know there are a lot of pitches in the intonation…. Will you please consider creating a full course on American intonation?

hank you very much for your work and videos! Please, make a playlist of your videos where we can watch in order. I don’t where to start…

Thnks ma'am please upload more video frequently humble request

Wow! What a valuable video. And I really find the Uptalk or Upspeak style way too annoying and cringe. I'm glad that I watched this video.

Yes more proof that uptalk is trash! My kids will be watching this one. Thanks for the lesson!

The uptalk is a hiphop inflicted loop .

Highly important aspect of proper communication (not only in English) even for not advanced learners. By the by, the same phonetic + semantic phenomenon plays a key role in few languages I am familiar with. Most likely this is a universal combination. Merci beaucoup Madame.

Idioms please😍😍🥺 ma'am

We have also German intonation. I guess that goes for all languages...

absolutely, and sometimes the intonation has different rules (or no fixed rules at all). In Norway there's a lot of falling and rising in the intonation, so when we speak English there's too much uptalk in our accent

Like voices, music sounds, intonations make listeners feel what saying. So I suggest using the sign to stress it.

I wish there were an online uptalk filter. I always click on the "Do not recommend this channel" whenever I hear it. Thank you for your work.

Gosh! I thought it was the standard accent of Americans. No wonder whenever I heard some Americans talk without such uptalk accent sometimes, I would wonder why they sounded not so American-like. I noticed that uptalk was very common among the young people mostly. I thought that if I wanted to be more native speaking then I have to sound more like them. Now I know it's such a misleading thought. Thanks Lisa for clearing this up.

Thanks, Uptalk really gives an impression to those speaking to me that he is less intelligent, more artificial and more insecure. It makes him or she a laughing stock. Typical the way of speaking of an Essex girl streotype they generally speak in the way of the upspeak Thanks, Lisa for learning many new things from you

❤❤❤

it would go a long way .

😊✔️

👍👍👍

Joe Rogan's "uptalk" cracks me up

Where were you lisa❤

"I click away as soon as I hear it any video"... I do the same!

Is there anyone who i can practice speaking with

In Russian intonation works the same.

I know he is somewhere 😊😊

Unnecessary listen causes kind of confusions.

What is it called in one word English if someone takes a draught kissing bottel and put it back into same bottle ?

I don’t agree with what people are saying about uptalk. Are we supposed to think that everyone that uses uptalk is dumb? Not smart? We don’t want to spread stereotypes.

Is it natural to say ‘Really?’ with falling intonation to express compliment rather than doubt? Ex; Son ‘I got a 100 on the test today!’ Mother’Oh! Really?⤵️’

No, it sounds like you can't believe he's got 100 on his test. You could say oh that's great, I am learning too, so

Is "I recommend that you don't speak this way" (around 5:36) grammatically correct? Shouldn't it be "I recommend that you not speak this way"? At least to sound professional :)

Good job

Nice
