Intonation for Clear Communication in American English - Why Intonation is So Important

[@kaisertonmoy5611]

I love ur accent, ur accent is understandable speed, but many non native English learners can not understand double speed English.

[@Englishwithkim]

Thanks for the kind words! I encourage you to check out some of my videos on stress and contrast. Native English speakers reduce less important words and syllables, and linger on stressed syllables of key words. This can be challenging to follow if you're expecting to hear each syllable pronounced clearly. It takes some time to train your ear, but it will get easier to follow what people are saying once you know what you're listening for!

How to decide which word to emphasise in a sentence? How to change monotone to more lively speech ?

[@Englishwithkim]

Great questions. Have you seen this video on how to change your meaning with your voice? kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKuplamsa813pNE It explains how we emphasize neutral sentences, and how we can change that stress around to express different meanings. You can work on more lively speech by increasing your pitch range and being sure to stress key syllables in key words and using thought groups to break up your ideas. I encourage you to check out this video on finding your flow when speaking English: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpLJYpuLedafbtU Of course, there are many more tips I've shared on this topic, so be sure to check out my other videos on intonation!

[@kamalqasim]

Linking is also difficult in english when ,you're native english speaking so fast and you link words.

[@Englishwithkim]

Have you seen this video on finding your flow when speaking English? kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpLJYpuLedafbtU Native speakers linger on key words, and move more quickly through less important words. Linking and reductions help us speak more efficiently, but the meaning will still be clear if you listen to the words that are stressed. I agree that linking is hard when you're thinking about it in terms of rules, and that's why I emphasize speaking with clear stress instead.

[@itismehimani5566]

Where do you speak from ? Chest or center of the mouth and what’s the tongue placement ? do I focus on speaking from center of mouth or (upper chest) resonance I’m so confused Btw nice channel :)

[@Englishwithkim]

My understanding of resonance in American English is that sounds start in your chest, travel through a relaxed throat, and reach their fullest resonance in the center of your mouth. We focus on relaxing and bringing the voice down into the chest to give the sound fullness, richness, and power. Resonance (also called placement) is challenging to understand and explain, and that's why I encourage you to experiment until your voice has the quality of sound that you're looking for!

[@eliezermexicanimation]

Could you please tell me how when why use the term I have had?

[@Englishwithkim]

It sounds like you're looking for an explanation of the present perfect tense. I don't focus on grammar in my videos, but there are a ton available here on KZbin: kzbin.info?search_query=present+perfect+tense

[@rayankanjo8335]

Hello Kim, I want to know if you offer one-to-one conversation hours? I am a fluent speaker, but I want to practice speaking more and enhance my accuracy.

[@Englishwithkim]

I think it's great that you want to practice your speaking and conversation skills! Unfortunately, I don't offer conversation practice, but I do offer a one-to-one coaching session where we can discuss how you communicate using stress, intonation, and how you use your voice. You can learn more here: englishwithkim.com/clarity-consultation/

[@rayankanjo8335]

Thanks for your response and encouragement. Sorry for any inconvenience, but I want to know if you don't mind suggesting trustworthy institutes that offer one-to-one conversation sessions. I find some websites on the internet, but I don't know whether they are real or fake pages or if their speakers are professional ones. I will really appreciate this because I am a novice English teacher, and I want to progress further in my career. Thanks for taking time to read this.

[@Englishwithkim]

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with any particular institute or educator who offers one-to-one conversation sessions. It's always worth checking the websites of KZbin educators (or podcasters) whose teaching style you like to see what they are offering.
