Word Stress

 When a word has more than one syllable, not all syllables are pronounced with the same degree of force. The syllable which is pronounced with greater force is called the stressed syllable. You can also call it the accented syllable. "Accent" in this case means "emphasis".

     T.: When speaking, it is important to put the stress on the correct syllable. Otherwise, it would sound unnatural, and might even be difficult to understand! Here are some examples of the word stress of some common words:

Why is English word pronunciation important?

 Have you noticed that sometimes, even though you can speak English well, have a good vocabulary, and use grammar properly, something still does not sound natural? Or in other words, your foreign accent is just too obvious… This can also make understanding you more difficult for other people.

 This could be a common problem among English learners. Each comes from a different country, a different language, with its different pronunciation ways and accents.

     T.: However, is it unchangeable? Do you have to keep your original accent when speaking English? That depends on how hard-working you are in practicing the new sounds. But let's agree on one thing: with some decent practicing you can definitely improve your pronunciation and your accent!

What Makes an Accent?

 Accent seems so natural to us, that we sometimes forget what makes an accent.

 Basically, the way you pronounce each sound of the language affects your overall accent.

 For example, the sound of the letter R is pronounced differently by Spanish, German and English speakers. The same is true for many other sounds. And so you get your accent…

 The method to improve your English accent, or your English word pronunciation, is to practice the proper ways to pronounce the sounds of English. Each sound is produced in a certain way, and when you produce it right, it sounds natural.
