English Intonation - to sound professional and intelligent, don't speak this way. (American English)

[@AccurateEnglish]

Here's a typical example of young women speaking this way: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipuXdnx9n8pnmqM

[@saadramadhanmuhi864]

In the words he hey is very easy _ but _ From the English writings are difficult for me

[@hintergarten]

Please correct me if I am wrong but sometimes uptalk is a must just before a comma. What about this sentence... " As long as he comes back from his trip on time, he will go to the meeting." After the word "time" I personally would add an up-intonation just to indicate that I will add more information. English is not my mother tongue though.

[@tahirsaeed4147]

American or British accent

[@johnnyb6049]

stephen tang, The second choice, (#2), is correct . . . without any of the Commas to be sure that it was punctuated correctly when the sentence was written rather than spoken. Commas shouldn't be used in writing to indicate pauses when speaking.

I'm also not a native speaker, and I also get the trouble like you. But my thought a little different. You know, many others speak English over the world like Korea, Singapore, India and so on. We learn English to communicate with many people on the world, not just UK or US, so I always try to listen and understand many people speaking English from many countries, I think that is better than just listen the standard English. But I also learn the way to speak English accurated. Thank you all for reading my comment!

I didn’t know it existed either… In my native language it’s a natural feature.

[@rajenranv7936]

One thing I am getting clear is that among varied factors influencing a good language, the concept of Intonation plays a key function in deciding our effective communication and maintaining good relationship. It's more of psychological in nature, as the right awareness on intonation enables our understandings to identify the emotions displayed by the speakers. Maybe, Intonation is a true reflection of one's mental state. As rightly said by the teacher, we need to be careful whom we imitate. I do make a note of it Ma'am and I am immensely thankful to the Teacher for the worthy training. Great. (Ravi)

[@vincentlui1456]

"Uptalk" is something which we usually use when asking a question or having a doubt. When we are answering questions from someone, we must be confident even if we are not 100 percent about the answers and then, you can tell them to find them out by themselves . There are many alternatives to answer the questions and this is actually etiquette.

[@Tonychar47]

This is the average American English accent while normally spoken by youngsters and uneducated, nonprofessional, or immature people. It'll be proper or not depending on the social status you belong to or the academic or working settings you have to get involved in.

João Resende . (In such a sentence) one says either "Very clearly explained." Or, "Very clear explanation." Though, one can say "Very clearly an explanation for/of/about/why ... ."

[@Kolya_Smirnov]

Rising intonation is only used for "yes" or "no" questions. For example, "What time was it when you left?" No rising tone for that kind of question.

[@funnyman613]

You can use rising intonation in English for just about any question, it won't show a lack of confidence or anything and its generally acceptable to do so. Even the question you posed, the rise in intonation isn't as dramatic as others, but its still present. It is possible to deliberately neglect rise in intonation in questions, yes or no questions as well, because it can still be clear it's a question as long as subject-verb inversion is used. When you are saying your example question to yourself, I suspect you are subconsciously neglecting to rise in intonation. Which isn't wrong either, it's still clear and correct. An example I can give of a yes or no question to illustrate my point is, "Is it raining outside?" You could say it similar to "Is it raining outside." and its still clearly a question because the sentence begins with the verb immediately followed by the subject.

[@GarnetsWeb]

I know this comment is a year old, but that's fine if you can't lose your accent! Most English native speakers will still have their accent when speaking another language. It's very difficult to completely obliterate your original accent, unless you grew up speaking both of the languages and have an idea of the American accent. Even Lisa the teacher still has a slight accent from her native language. She still sounds great! I think intonation and focusing on becoming clear in speech is more important than ridding of accents.
