[@Kazawka96]

Excellent job.

[@raulbilhere6954]

Thank you for your videos, for most of us it is a challenge to get the right intonation, due to that English is not a phonetic language.

[@LeoLebedenko]

Great reference and a review! Already watched three times. again and again it helped me practice lists and question intonation. Thank you! Looking forward to more lessons

What does PPS stand for? Thanks

[@ditokami3095]

Awesome! Highly informative. Looking forward to your future videos on english rhythm and intonation. In a long neutral sentence how does the rule of stress apply? Which of the content words , other than the PPS, are stressed? What happens to the verbs, adjectives and adverbs ( heirarchy of stressing )? Thank you !

[@SmoothEnglish1]

I will also make a lesson on chunking in the near future, so you can see how long sentences are divided up into units, each of which has its own PPS. Rhythm still applies, but PPS will be the most stressed in each unit.

Great info ! Stay safe teacher. I actually saw you in LG but didn’t have the nerve to go up and say hi. That’s pre-covid days and it seems so long ago now.

[@SmoothEnglish1]

Come say Hi next time!

[@ramzy-6566]

what is (PPS)?

[@SmoothEnglish1]

Thanks for paying attention! PPS is primary phrase stress. It is the most important word in each chunk of information. The chunk could be a whole sentence, or part of a longer sentence. Soon, I will make a video on PPS. PPS is related to rhythm, chunking and intonation.

@@SmoothEnglish1 Thank you so much. i'm waiting the video.

[@saeeddrakhman4873]

Very beneficial indeed. Thank you so much.

[@ceciliaboineau1357]

Hi! Thanks for the video! Is PPS the same as IPS?

[@SmoothEnglish1]

According to this Glottopedia definition: An intonational phrase (IP) is a phonological unit with the following properties: (i) it is the largest phonological unit into which an utterance can be divided, (ii) it has a specifiable intonational structure including a single most prominent point (the nucleus), and it matches up in some way with syntactic and discourse structure. I would equate PPS with the nucleus. PPS is the most prominent point. Also see my video on PPS called "The Most Important Word"

Mam is listening English 30 min per day enough to get fluency in less months????

[@SmoothEnglish1]

You need to speak it also! The more the better!

[@missdmx]

This is one of the best video I've ever seen! Remarkable!! Thank you!! I wish I could afford your privates :-/

[@ditokami3095]

I see that you’ve already answered this before. Missed it. Sorry!

[@Trump-a-Tron]

No. It sound like she is stressing, going up and down on the word "going". "eye waz GOIng to kahl mai BaawS"
