English Pronunciation Workshop (IV) - Sentence Stress

Hi everyone!

As a professional English teacher, I am offering a pronunciation workshop (the fourth and last in the series), in which we are going to explore sentence stress in English.

Because English is a stress-timed language, not only syllables - the basic units of sound - but also words within sentences are pronounced shorter or longer and with a different pitch of your voice. This produces a unique rhythm for each sentence.

As a consequence, understanding which words need to be stressed and which words need to be reduced in their pronunciation is essential in helping you speak English with a natural rhythm so that others are able to understand you better.

In our workshop, there will be a presentation on how sentence stress works in English, and learners have the opportunity to practice and ask questions.

If you’d like to attend the workshop, please…
