English Pronunciation - Sentence Stress and Rhythm
In English Pronunciation, Sentence Stress is one of the most difficult things for students to master, but it is very important if you want to really take your English pronunciation to the HIGHEST LEVEL!
In this lesson, I'm going to show you how Sentence stress works in English, and how to listen and hear the 'rhythm' of English, which many people call it's 'music'. This English lesson about Sentence Stress will help you to understand when Native speakers are speaking very fast and also help you to speak faster in English too!
Firstly, one important thing to know, is that in English we can divide words into CONTENT words and GRAMMAR words. Content Words are important, they are Nouns, Adjectives and Verbs. Grammar Words are less important, they are pronouns and prepositions etc. The tempo of English, that means the speed at which people speak and read, is set normally by the CONTENT words. In this lesson I show you a great example of this and how this is the reason many learners of English become confused when they hear native english speakers saying some words REALLY fast and others slower and more loudly.
Secondly, when you EMPHASIZE (stress) a word in English you can change the meaning of a sentence. I show you another great example of this in this Video Lesson.
When you are speaking English, if you find that other people are not understand you easily, it might be because you are not using STRESS and INTONATION correctly. Hopefully, after this video, you will understand it a bit better and can improve in this area of English Pronunciation.

Mr.James your teaching method is absolutely amazing
love to see your body gesture while you convey the messages,that makes your lesson more effective and attractive!
You are certainly a great teacher making your students community Scholars in the English language. It is great of you .
It's so beautiful and refreshing to finally get a platform to be taught by a native English speaker for free. I can safely say that I'm fluent now in English. The reason I'm saying this is because of the compliments I keep on receiving.
Sir James giving practical up-to-date knowledge of learning English and it helps a lot to me.Thank you so much sir. 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
Oh might I love the way he teaches very clearly
🌋 Rarely can someone find a skilful teacher exceptionally and so sincerely dedicated to energise a student to practice and learn every bit of the essons he teaches. It is just like an intravenous injection. Marvellous ! God bless.
