English Pronunciation | Rhythm Intonation Stress | Improve English Accent

In this English lesson, I teach you the most important thing about English pronunciation: rhythm, stress, tone, intonation, pitch, pause, etc. If you can learn the flow of English, you'll sound much more natural! Many people want to improve their English accent, but they don't know how to do it. In this series on pronunciation, you'll learn everything you need to have a natural English accent! Intonation and rhythm are more important than English phonemes. The individual sounds are important in improving your accent, but they are not as important as syllable stress. The only way to learn this is through practice. I'm sure your fluency and conversation skills will improve in this series! Please ask me any questions if you need help. Cheers!

It's creepy and hilarious at the same time seeing you hold a knife.

Dear sir, you makes the intense education very easy by entertaining the monotony. You're the best one for me. I really loved you. Keep going sir.

[@zafrankhan4663]

Best teacher ever

[@Vetgong]

Hey Mark! I think re-spon-si-BIL-i-ti is the answer. Thank you so much for this interesting topic! Have a nice day and take care!

[@luciadelviso9342]

You look so funny with the knife! Thank you for the lesson! Very useful!

[@argenisperez5791]

You are doing a great Job with your videos. It has been my source of training for CELPIP and I will buy your books. Thank you very much.

[@mbarraicua]

[@stefaniechong9640]

Keep it up Master Mark for the wonderful lessons!!! 😊😊😊

[@abdullahhatip3814]

Good lesson, nice knife, and the stress falls on the second syllable.😁🌷

[@amantedelmondo1787]

I don't know man if any of my English teachers were to pull out a knife in the middle of the class I would get the hell out of dodge...

[@Vetgong]

Hey Mark! the word 're-spon-si-bil-i-ty' has 6 syllables, so, as I was taught, it should have two stresses, one being the auxiliary stress and another the main stress, when the word is uttered in isolation, not in a sentence. The main stress is to be on the third syllable from the end and the auxiliary stress is to be in front but not touching the main, it should be in one step of it, that is: the second syllable has auxiliary stress and the forth has the main one. That way it sounds like this: re-sp(O)n-si-b[I]l-i-ti where square brackets mean the main stress. Sorry, I'm too bookish, I have no talent for teaching as you have! Thanks for a wonderful lesson! Take care! PS. By the way, that nife looked great as a pointer! :)))

[@MadEnglishTV]

Hi! 😃😃I think you should become the teacher at Mad English TV and I should relax and go on a trip. Haha

[@Vetgong]

@@MadEnglishTV Hi Mark! I'm glad you appreciated my homework :)))

[@nev4696]

*Aye* this *helped* me, *thanks* .

[@miraclealferez340]

Stress = is the relative emphasis that maybe given to certain syllables in a one word 👍😀😀😀....::

[@rainmeng7313]

You are the funniest teacher I've ever seen. The teaching stick here is a teaching knife.

[@MadEnglishTV]

😃😃

[@Yuno08888]

I like how you swing that knife around. Great lesson♥ i'm one step closer to sound Canadian♥♥

[@DavidPowellAU]

At 6:02, I disagree. "Fifteen" has definite stress on the second syllable. "Fifty" has definite stress on the first. This in fact is a key learning to help listeners distinguish such numbers (13 from 30, 14 from 40, etc.). Word stress and sentence stress could be separately explained. For word stress (placement of syllable stress within a word), it's so easy to answer the question so many asked on how to determine it (a dictionary). Sentence stress is much harder to provide guidance for. Take the question, "How much does this cost?" Why in the unmarked case should "much" and "this" have greater stress than "How and "cost"?

[@sarac.3568]

I don't understand how fifteen has definite stress on the second syllable. I think he explained it very well; you could say it by stressing the first, or the second, or both syllables. Depends on where you're from, what the context of the sentence is etc. What I still don't understand after all this search is what's the actual difference between stress and intonation.

[@raghunandansharma7315]

Very good practice.

[@user-hh5cq2rb4x]

I have just resently discovered that my dialect of russian is closest to english: we have the same stress structure - we pronounce the stressed vowels clearly and totally reduce the rest!

[@ilayozdemir]

That yellow knife really gives me a laughter everytime point out something with it :D thanks for the video.

[@MadEnglishTV]

Haha, I'm glad you like it! 😄

[@abdelilahjamali9099]

Hi! A very useful lesson. Thank you! Homework: the stress is on the fourth syllable of the word "responsibility.

[@sarac.3568]

The stress is on the fourth syllable in that case.

[@bayronrodriguez3755]

[@akasa2laoshi555]

This is hard to learn for me. Thank you 💛

[@antoniacladerabohigas6292]

Great lesson, thanks! I think the stress is on BE, but maybe, as it is a very long word, I would stress also PON. Right?

[@triprasa7]

Thank you bro for the explanation... And i think the answer is spon

[@venkataramanakethu7750]

Super pronounce sir

[@polianapolain]

It took me a while to spot the knife in your hand pointing out to the board..and I loved it! It added so much fun to the lesson that was great btw where you cover important parts to the language. Will never forget that knife though ha ha PS: Answer - responsaBIlity. BI is the stress syllable.

[@MadEnglishTV]

Haha, great! 😃 Where are you from?

[@polianapolain]

I'm from Sao Paulo, Brazil born and raised, but I've lived in Australia for a few years now. I'm currently working on my pronunciation by watching videos like that one.

[@MadEnglishTV]

Thank you so much, Souad! Where are you from? Yes, I'll try to make more lessons soon. 😃

I request you mark, to make us videos about TOEFL. ( if u want, obviously!)☺

[@beverlyjones3391]

stress is on the second and fourth syllables of the word responsibility ..?

[@titehena8278]

that's why english is so hard for us in indonesia because our languages doesnt need stress rules. so there's hundreds accents in our national language

[@MintNiva]

Stress at 4th for the word "Responsibility" 😊 Is it correct?

[@jannyyao3789]

Great lesson! The stress in on the second syllable.Is right?

[@MadEnglishTV]

Thanks! Nope ;) 4th.

[@AGATHA2211HANNAH]

[@manuelramirez2205]

Hey Mark Great Job, look my students like your lessons and they had a lot of fun with the knife, one question, can I use a screencapture of this video to make a meme about education? Keep it up

Hi Manuel, thanks for supporting my channel. Yes, you can make a meme! Send me the link. Haha

[@MadEnglishTV]

That's great! 😃😃

[@dheya22]

The stress in the second syllable

[@frankpastrana602]

What about if our native language has a different rhythm and pacing ? is there a guide that explains the rhythm of american english when questioning,when answering,when expressing some emotions ? I noticed this is very important.Because sometimes i watch a movie i already saw,and i wait for the character to say his line but when he says it i dont understand it at the first time because my brain was expecting to hear it in my native language rhythm.

[@deb7412]

He also speaks with an American accent and with american rhythm/intonation. Not English/British accent/intonation/rhythm of which is different to his own obviously. And to which his own (just like my own) differs to someone elses in same area or outside of same town/village/city/county/suburb/district/state.

[@BaoNguyen-tl2uo]

I think #2 and #4 are stressed syllables. Am I right, aren't I? And this is good lesson, thank you :)

[@MadEnglishTV]

You're right! 😃

[@juliocesarlimadesousa9109]

Hi Mark! It's syllable #4 "bil". I'll see you next time. Bye!

[@MadEnglishTV]

Hi Julio! You're right! 😃 Bye!

[@juliocesarlimadesousa9109]

Mad English TV Thanks Mark!

[@MadEnglishTV]

[@minnienhle21]

[@muhammedvaleedk4430]

On 4th syllable

[@thinsu2559]

Very nice with a knife

[@Entertainment_Education]

good

[@MadEnglishTV]

Thank you! 😃

[@murasakivideo]

/rəˌspɑnsəˈbɪlᵻdi/ /riˌspɑnsəˈbɪlᵻdi/ Number 4 or on /ˈbɪl/ is where the stress is. Is this correct, Mad English TV?

[@TEE19622]

Hah ...at 4ish: did you hear him say "queso" b4 talking about Mexico? Manipulation of syllable stress has always been a learning tool ive used on my children ...and "marface" as well

[@isabellacicchetti6058]

There are many words in which I can actually hear two stresses, for example dòcumèntary or pèrsonàlity or sèrendi'pity. etc. Is it true? I suppose that this happens with pretty long words because our voice needs to "lean" on more than one syllabe. Thank you for a little answer..

[@MadEnglishTV]

Yes, many longer words have more than one stress, but in most cases, one of the stresses bigger than the other one. DocuMENtary PersoNALity SerenDIpity

[@harlenedoctorr7977]

Wow😙😙😙😙😙

[@MadEnglishTV]

Thanks! 🤗🤗🤗

[@marlainearagao6705]

Hi, I think that Stress is in 4 syllable (bil). That's right ??

[@monikaricicova8373]

Good lesson, easy to understand. But without the alien symbols, I wouldn't have known where to put the certain stress in the word. How can I find out where to put the stress? Thank you.

[@MadEnglishTV]

You can look up the word in a dictionary. It will have a ' symbol before the stressed syllable.

[@RogerCruzeiroEterno]

English rythm is the most difficult thing for someone from a POrtuguese speaking country as me. believe me . to know which words we need to emphasize in a phrase quickly , automaticlly and naturally without thinking is almost impossible . but even so I know to speak well I must master this. I think the stress sylabble of the word responsibility is number 4. by the way I have a good suggestion of video for you Mark. many non native speakers have troubles in knowing if we need to use " it , this or that" at the end of the phrases, for example I love it, I love this or I love that. i have to master it, this or that etc. I always use them randomly, speacially it and this.

[@MadEnglishTV]

That's a great idea! Yes, it's hard to master those words! You're right, the stress is on the 4th syllable. 😃

[@RogerCruzeiroEterno]

PLease make more videos about English rythm. Memorize words is very easy the problem is to pronounce them properly.

[@MadEnglishTV]

Okay! 😃 You're right.

[@TravelbyAbdul]

number 4
