I teach using just one of many accents in the world. Please only learn it if you like it and if you are interested in learning it. I do not believe there is one “correct” accent or manner of pronunciation and I fully encourage EFL/ESL learners to expose themselves to as many varieties of English around the world to become accustomed to the beautiful variations of this world language. I focus mostly on teaching “Modern RP” (I may just say “RP” in my older videos, but to clarify, I do specifically mean “Modern RP”), however, you will hear a lovely little Yorkshire twang to my accent from time to time too. Please LOVE and BE PROUD of your accent. After all, it is part of your identity and makes you unique. 💚

It looks very simple to me but it is the basic steps the more important ones. I am always looking for lessons about how to improve the pronunciation with the imitation and intonation as part of it.

    "Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They're either lonely, they're missing somebody, they're depressed, they're hurt, they're scarred from the past, they're having personal issues no one knows about, they have secrets you wouldn't believe. They wish, they dream and they hope. And right now, they are sitting here reading these words, and I'm writing this for you so you don't feel alone anymore. Always remember, don't be depressed about the past, don't worry about the future, and just focus on today. If today's not so great don't worry! Tomorrow's a new chance. If you are reading this, be sure to share this around to make others feel better. Have a nice day!"

    @@santvi Hi Santi! This is an introductory overview of sentence level stress. It is really common in these kinds of presentations to hear that "content words are stressed." This is true...but only partly true. Sentence stress is complex, and it's hard to dig deep into it in a 14-minute video. Also, I think a lot of the time people only present the most basic information because they think that's all their audience is ready for. But I really don't like to start with the usual division of words into "content words" and "focus words" because I think it gives a false impression and obscures a more important truth: 1. There is a hierarchy among content words, and nouns trump verbs under normal conditions. 2. There is ONE word in each chunk of language that gets the MOST stress, and to me that is more important--and also easier--to identify than trying to look for all the content words and stress them. If you stress all the content words, your speech sounds unnatural and you are missing one of the most important facts about English stress: We always put a kind of spotlight on ONE WORD per chunk of language. Finding and stressing that word is the most important thing you can do in terms of sentence-level stress.
