Thank you Jennifer for that video, but I get confused between the fall-rise and low-rise. You mentioned "low-rise" in the video, but I want to know the difference? Thank you again for your efforts. God bless you.😊

[@Englishwithjennifer]

A low-rise is simply rising intonation, but not very high. We use it on lists (all but the last item). We also use it on a lot of mid-sentence pauses, like after a conditional clause with IF: If you need help (rise and pause), just let me know (fall). We can also use the fall-rise (dropping and then rising a bit) in lists and mid-sentence pauses. Review the lesson on lists and alternatives. Then come back to this one. Also, work with some of my Oral Reading Fluency texts and listen to how I read longer sentences. Good luck!

[@nevenbishoy]

Thank you so much Jennifer.😊 I'll work with your advice.

Hi Miss Jen, I'm a little bit confused when you speak the word: help and true. Is that rise - fall intonation ? what i heard was up and down. Can you help me? Thank you very much .

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Hi. Before a rise, there's a slight drop. Here's an example: Can you help me? >> I'd drop on "help" and continue to rise on "me"? Try humming the words and focus on the changes in pitch. Hope that helps.

[@masontran6101]

JenniferESL thank you so much, Miss Jen 😍😍😍 Love u

[@lolum7301]

You are an amazing teacher! But I wonder if there are two different ways to do the fall-rise intonation because when you performed it at the end of a sentence, especially when the focus word is a mono syllabic one, the fall-rise intonation sounds just like a falling intonation to me. For exemple, I could only feel the falling part in the word "help" in the sentence at 2:55, "when you need help,...". And when you perform the intonation in words and phrases like "yeah" and "good morning" , both the rising and the falling parts get much more noticeable. So does it mean this intonation varies with position or we are just talking about two completely different intonations? Thanks for your incredible videos!

[@lolum7301]

It sounds like fall-and-stop or fall-and-bounce in the word "help" instead of fall-rise or falling intonation to me

[@Englishwithjennifer]

The fall-rise for hesitation on single words like "yeah" can be very drawn out. The longer pattern makes it easy to detect it. In faster speech, the fall-rise can indeed be like a bounce, but it's still a fall followed by a rise.

[@lolum7301]

@@Englishwithjennifer Thank you so much for your sharing and patience! That's exactly how I feel! It's so lucky for me to have found your videos.

[@PD-is7ek]

Hi, thanks for the video, but I found it quite confusing when you actually speak ‘help’ in a falling intonation but mark it in fall-rise. Could you please re record it?

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Remember that you can rise a bit before you fall, and you can fall a bit before you rise. Verbs are content words, so they are stressed. The stressed syllable of a content word will have a slight rising pitch.

[@excitedaboutlearning1639]

Jennifer, I wanna thank you for these intonation videos. I've been studying American English intonation watching your, "Rachel's English" and "The Accent's Way with Hadar" videos on it. I've been focused on it for probably around 4 to 5 months, and I gotta say my views on intonation have changed, and my awareness is on a whole different level. I didn't use to hear rising intonation at all, then I started hearing it, but I wasn't 100 percent certain whether what I was hearing was indeed rising intonation or falling one. Now, I hear the difference very clearly, and most importantly, I can reproduce it pretty accurately even in a face-to-face conversation. The only downside is that Finnish, my mother tongue, doesn't use rising intonation AT ALL! So it kinda creeps into my Finnish, even though, I try to minimize it. I notice it especially in options that are not lists, for example, "Are you eating here or taking the food away?" When I ask that question in English, there's rising intonation in the first option and a falling one in the second one. Finnish doesn't have rising intonation in the first option, but I keep putting it there unwillingly. Thank you so much for helping people improve their English.

[@Englishwithjennifer]

I'm glad my playlist is a part of your studies. :) I have short pronunciation clips on Instagram. They cover intonation, linking, and minimal pairs. #englishwithjenniferlebedev I think Finnish is a very difficult language. I once had a colleague from Finland. She was one of the best English teachers I worked with at our school in Boston. She mastered the American accent, but I don't know how this affected her use of Finnish. ;)

[@SK1568]

Jennifer, are you sure you don't confuse "fall-rise" with "low-rise"? The way I hear it, you start from low, not from high, as it should be (FALL-rise, right?). Your tone movement doesn't seem to match the movement of your hand. Fall-rise is mainly characteristic of British rather than American English, and it sounds completely different.

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Hi. No, a low-rise is what you sometimes hear mid-sentence at the end of a first clause or what we often hear in the initial items of a list. In contrast, the fall-rise dips down and then rises. But don't forget that a stressed syllable still rises in pitch: HowEVer, For INstance, UnFORtunately, Many speakers will use a fall-rise on these kinds of introductory words, particularly in presentations of some kind. Consider "however." The stress is on the first "e": howEVer. I rise on "EV" because it's stressed. Then I fall and immediately rise again on "-er." Different sources use different terms. One book I have in my library calls is a drop-rise.

[@SK1568]

​@@Englishwithjennifer It's all very nice in theory, but what about practice? Where is a pitch drop in your voice? I watched several of your videos and discovered only one instance of fall-rise for a one-syllable word: "if NOT" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIOveGV8dquFbNk ( 8:42). You can find another example of fall-rise here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4bPf5WMga-HgNE (1:26). "quiet and friendly" - that's what fall-rise actually sounds like. Besides, your rise-fall is not a rise-fall at all. It's nothing but a high-fall. I refer you to "Practical English Phonetics and Phonology" (Beverley Collins) and "English Intonation" (J.C.Wells)

[@Englishwithjennifer]

I appreciate your passion to dig into the nuances. There are different models, and I'm merely one of many. I encourage everyone to listen to different speakers. I think part of the complication of discussing intonation is that people use different terminology. For example, I'd likely associate a high fall/strong fall/long fall with something like disappointment. Without additional audio, I'm not able to provide a sample so that you clearly understand what I mean. I still stand behind the patterns I teach both in this series and in my Oral Reading Fluency series. One author who influenced me is Rebecca Dauer, who published Accurate English (Prentice Hall Regents). I agree with her explanation of a rise-fall and a fall-rise. You're welcome to book a lesson to discuss intonation in detail. I have a mix of advanced learners and other ESL teachers among my private students. In the end, I aim to help my learners produce clear, natural speech, regardless of how they name the patterns that we use. If they successfully do what they set out to do (pass an interview, give a presentation, etc.), then I'm both pleased and proud. Kind regards!

[@nguo5353]

Hello Jennifer, I really appreciate that you can give such detailed presentation about intonations Here are some confusions I have and wish you could help with: 1.Some fall-rise tones really do not sound like there is a FALL at the beginning on a syllable, like “help”. To me, it’s only a rise tone for the entire word. 2. I remember in one of your videos talking about two ways to count “one, two, three, way”, you said low rise version is with uncertainty and hesitance to think, but in here you also mentioned fall-rise tone is for hesitance. So, do this mean both tones could be used for that? 3. It really bugs me when I try to say a statement type sentence since I am not sure how to use the intonation at the beginning of it. I found some native speakers tend to rise the tone at the beginning but some don’t. Like in your “adding information” video, you used rise for “my grandmother’s coin collections....” but sort of a flat or fall tone for”some coins.....”. So is there a certain rule for here? Thank you so much if you could answer them! Have a nice day :)

[@Englishwithjennifer]

1. If you hum a sentence, you may become more aware of the rises and falls. 2. Yes, there's more than one way to list or count. I can think of a few. A low rise is likely the most common one, where you rise on each item, but then fall on the last. A rise that's held out on each item can suggest uncertainty or that you're thinking aloud as you speak. A short, firm fall on each item sounds authoritative. A fall-rise could suggest hesitation. Perhaps I'll create a task on Simor.org where I have access to a microphone. 3. There are two basic patterns for long sentences, for example a complex sentence that starts with a time clause (e.g., when) or a condition (if). At the mid-pause, you can have a low rise or a fall-rise.

[@nguo5353]

JenniferESL Thank you so much, Jennifer! I didn’t expect you could reply that soon 😄! I just signed up on Simor and those tasks seem really helpful!!! I still haven’t figure out the Fall Rise tone in some cases, wish I could let you hear my way to pronounce it and help to check it :) Thank you :)

[@Msspmex2012]

Hola Jenni! Why is not posible to post comments in your vowel sound serie videos?? What is the vowel sound for the "e" in vowel? I look in the dictionary but some symbols are different from the ones U used...Im confused :(

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Hi Marcela. Older videos have the comments disabled. I welcome questions on YT, FB, and in the English Room on Simor. :) Most dictionaries write the EL in "vowel" as /əl/. It's a final L sound where you hold your tongue in position behind your upper front teeth.

[@blacknwhite6186]

Hi, what is the main difference between a fall rise and just rise intonation? They almost sound similar to me!

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Rising intonation in question is a stronger rise. I'd say the fall-rise pattern has a lengthier drop before the rise. Focus more on position. The fall-rise happens mid-sentence and especially on introductory words.

[@blacknwhite6186]

@@Englishwithjennifer Thank you!

[@Education4iq1]

could you explain (( syllable weak and strong )) thanks again

[@Englishwithjennifer]

A stressed syllable is stronger than a weak or unstressed syllable. Stressed syllables have a stronger vowel sound. In general, a stressed syllable can be louder, longer, and at a higher pitch.

[@Qateralnada-x6i]

Which tone is about least need to be said and which is usually regarded as more or less neutral !??? Please answer me ! Fall rise rise fall

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Hi. I think I answered this question earlier. It depends on the statement and the context. A neutral sentence uses falling intonation at the end. A neutral yes-no question uses rising intonation. Stress can be used for emphasis, so that can change the focus.

[@Qateralnada-x6i]

@@Englishwithjennifer yes, sorry I write it twice because I was really need to know the answer . Thanks a bunch! 🌷🌷🌷🌷

[@michaelg184]

In the example: I can help, but only if... You used falling tone instead of fall-rise tone. That's an error.

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Try listening to the slower version a few times. It's harder to hear the fall-rise on a single syllable like HELP, but it's there. Falling intonation is on "morning" to signal the end of the statement.

[@michaelg184]

@@Englishwithjennifer Well, with all due respect, I've listened a couple of times of the fall-rise examples. It's clear that you pronounced NO, Well as fall-rise, but you pronounced True, Help as falling tone. All of them are single syllable words, I'm not saying you pronounced them wrong, but you pronounced them in different tones. Just discussing, no offense.

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Questions are very useful. Don't stop asking when you have doubts. If students can't ask questions, then answers can't be found. :) As long as you understand the phrases in context and the intent behind them, then all is well. I believe there will always be a degree of variation in our pronunciation. We need to train ourselves to handle that range, so that we can understand one another as accurately as possible. Thanks for giving your attention to this lesson. Regards!

hi jennifer. i would like to ask if how can i use different intonation in the sentence "I did not say that i do not like their culture" i need your answer today

[@Englishwithjennifer]

The key in that kind of a statement used for clarification is to stress the correct words: I did not SAY/ that I do not LIKE their culture.// I'd do a small fall-rise on the first thought group and then use falling intonation in the second.

Hi, I loved your video. I'm analysing fall and non-falling tones. Can you help me to understand this explanation?

Try this. Go to youglish.com. Type in "that's true but." You'll get about 800+ results. You can skip through the different video clips. I think you'll notice that if there's a longer pause, that is a definite end to a sentence, then there's falling intonation on "true." If there's a quick continuation with "but...," then you're more likely to hear the fall-rise.

[@patrickcheung5192]

Hi, Jennifer. After watching this video, I would like to raise a point. It seems that the fall-rise intonation pattern will shift the stress of a word to the last syllable. I take the sentence of this video as an example, “We can count on family, friends, and even neighbors.” In this list, we apply the fall-rise intonation pattern on the word, “family”. Then the stress of “family” shifts from ‘fam’ to ‘ly’. Am I right? I am looking forward to your response. Thank you so much

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Word stress doesn't change. Intonation and pitch change. The changes take place on stressed syllables. The fall-rise can be used on "family" and "friends" because they are the first two items in the list. "Family" has stress on the first syllable. Fall on the first and rise on the second. "Friends" has only one syllable. You have to fall-rise in a gliding fashion on a single vowel sound (the short e).

With the respect you deserve, Jennifer and not saying that I´m right, I would like to tell you that in the part you make a list of things and you say it´s fall-rise intonation, I might say that this should be revised in order to clarify any doubt about it and give a more complete information. I learnt and I was tought that the tone you were using in the list is just rising tone and that is usual in those cases of a sequence of things.

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Hello. Thanks for voicing your thoughts. I'll say that in the majority of cases, you'll use rising intonation in lists, and then fall on the final item. However, there are times when you'll hear a fall-rise on a list of items and then the last item has falling intonation as usual. Do you know youglish.com? It's an interesting tool. I typed in "one, two, three" and got thousands of speech samples on KZbin. The first dozen probably all used the rise, rise, fall pattern (one, two three > rise, rise, fall). Then I came across this one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZzGgHaQec2jd9km39s Listen to how she says "two." It's not a low-rise. It's a fall-rise. It demonstrates my observation, that an authority while counting, may use a fall-rise on the numbers until the final number. The fall-rise is particularly clear on "two." Regards!

[@marydc6147]

Hello Jennifer! Could you explane me if there is differences between fall-rise and rise-fall intonation or they are the same and when use rise-fall intimation ? Thanks.

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Some call the fall-rise a drop-rise. There's a dip or a lowering in pitch before a rise. It happens on a hesitation word like "well." The sharp rise-fall is more associated with strong emotions, like surprise: "oh my GOSH!" Rise sharply on "gosh" and then quickly fall.

[@medinekrit7291]

Hi Jennifer! I have a question : when you said 'Where could I find Mr. Taylor?', you said it with a fall rise intonation but I know that only yes/no questions fall and then rise in intonation. So my question is if you asked this question with a rise fall intonation, does it mean that you are more informal?

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Hi Médine. Good question. You can still sound polite with rising intonation in a yes-no question, but the fall-rise on any question sounds polite and very formal. It's how we talk to strangers when we're polite and reserved. I'll give more attention to this in the next lesson. Think of the context in my examples, like when I ask, "Who's next, please?" I might be a receptionist at a fancy hotel desk, for instance. My tour guide examples were designed to show how both are appropriate, but the first was warm and friendly. The second wasn't cold, but just more reserved. Did you feel the difference?

[@medinekrit7291]

JenniferESL Yes I really felt the difference between the two examples, the first one you were more smiling and the second one you looked more authoritative. So indeed the context really helps. But is it possible that yes-no questions can have a rise fall intonation? For example in the question 'Are you hungry?'. That would be strange to hear that question asked in this way, isn't it?

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Be careful not to confuse a rise-fall for strong emotion (I absolutely LOVE that dress!) with a fall-rise (Well...). Yes, some yes-no questions can be made to sound more formal with a fall-rise. It's not common, but you might hear it with "May I help you?" for example. Drop on "help" and rise on "you." Can you do it?

[@medinekrit7291]

JenniferESL Things are now clearer :) Thank you Jennifer for taking your time to answer my questions
