Your pronunciation is really helpful for learners.

[@Englishwithkim]

That's awesome to hear - glad it helped!

[@aymanbaroudi6195]

Dear Kim, you are a great teacher. You've given us a golden rule: To Vibrate from the center of the mouth. I found applying this rule almost enough to stress the right syllable. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[@Englishwithkim]

Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you found this tip helpful!

[@youngchung7807]

[@Englishwithkim]

Glad it was helpful!

[@pm580]

You are amazing, so different with all the teachers I've seen till now, you're a great guide..God bless you

[@Englishwithkim]

Thank you for the kind words! As I often say, you have to experiment until you find what works for you. The same goes for me and my teaching style!

[@historiasdelapatagonia]

You rock Kim! Love all your videos! Keep it up! Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina 😊

[@jhosiemae9129]

OK.. Late again 😂 I'm always late. Another inspiring video again. You're the only teacher I like. Even though you speak fast and you're constracting your words I can still heard you clear. That's why I love you.. 💓💓 I want to master English. This is my goal

[@Englishwithkim]

Awww, that's so kind of you to say! I'm happy my videos are helping you realize what's possible for you! I'm glad you can understand me, even though I do speak as naturally as possible. My goal is to help you adjust to natural speech so that you can both speak clearly and understand us clearly! :)

[@greekwithjo960]

Another fantastic video! You are a great help. I wish I had a teacher like you when I was a student. Thank you.

[@Englishwithkim]

I'm happy to hear this helped you!

[@greekwithjo960]

@@Englishwithkim You can't imagine. And I have gotten many courses in the last 10 years, paid or free. Nothing has helped me as your videos.

[@nacciomart4586]

Hi Kim, how's it going? Thanks for sharing your valuable knowledge with us. Stress the right syllava or even the right words in a sentence is not easy, but by watching your videos and practicing I know I can achieve my goals. Your lessons have been of great help to me. You're a great professional teacher. My pronunciation is getting better thanks to you.

[@Englishwithkim]

I often say that stress and intonation are simple, but not easy. If you just watch a video like this, it seems like such a simple exercise. But when you actually practice along with me, you realize that it really takes time, patience, and practice to master contrast! I'm happy to hear that your pronunciation is getting better! I'm always interested in ideas for future videos, so let me know if there's something you'd like me to cover!

[@handryphindela]

Hi Kim thanks for this valuable lesson. Do you have any app or know of where I can practice more words?

[@Englishwithkim]

Glad it helped you! I offer online courses, and the Stress Simplified program has over 50 practice exercises related to stressing words, phrases, and thought groups. There is a structured 30 day boot camp to help you internalize stress patterns.

[@youtube.com.Hal0367]

Hi and thanks for this lesson! I really need it. Do you also drop the T in restaurant? When you pronounce it, i cant hear that T sound 🤔

[@Englishwithkim]

Which /t/ sound are you talking about? The /t/ sound at the end of the word is usually pretty soft. If the word comes at the end of a phrase or sentence, your mouth might end in the /t/ shape without releasing the puff of air afterwards. This video on fast speech explains a number of changes that happen to sounds in words: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l37PgYGarbh9oLc

[@TKHoCal]

thanks so much for the video! QQ: so there's usually only 1 stress syllable in any given word?

[@Englishwithkim]

We focus on primary stress for clear communication, but words may also have secondary stress, unstressed, and reduced syllables.

[@edflam7555]

can the second words be reduced to a schwa in fast speech? LOUDməth, BACKpək..just curious, btw this is an awesome video!!

[@Englishwithkim]

In these cases, "mouth" and "pack" receive secondary stress, which means the vowel sound is still clear, just not emphasized as much as "loud" and "back." When syllables receive secondary stress or are unstressed, they're not reduced to schwa, even in fast speech.

[@edflam7555]

@@Englishwithkim Thank you so much for replying! wondering if you have a video on adjective/ noun stress. I get confused with greenhouse/ green house.
