Her facial expression is top-notch - it greatly helps with the communication.

Most of the people in my school are Indian's and Sri lankan's, so I always be with them and my accent sounds like them but when I talk with that accent with my out of school friends or family, they all kind of make fun of me. This is so helpful, thank you so much. I needed this. Btw, you look like Ellie Goulding ♥ ♥

Thank you so much! I really do enjoy this work and I have been doing it for quite a while (about 20 years!) but I still think speech and accents are so interesting, so it's nice that you could feel my enthusiasm in this lesson. I love being able to explain the rules of pronunciation, rather than just having people imitate random words. It is always nice to get a compliment like this. Thanks again!!

I do...but it’s pretty awful. I’m old and still getting comfortable with Instagram. Too many photos!!! But working to improve is one of my goals for this year!

Thanks for your video. Could you make a video with Pitch Step Vs Glide in a sentence using INTONOGRAPH and tone levels?

[@Theaccentchannel]

Great idea. I'll add to my list of lesson ideas!

Great! Perfect!

Thank you so much!

Great insight madam, I have seen the video tutorial. I have a question. If we want to ask a yes/no question, we will use rising intonation at the final word of sentence, my question is, do we have to stress on 2 words in each sentence? First on word which we want to highlight and then second stress on final word? For example: ARE you going to Paris TOMMOROW? Are YOU going to Paris TOMMOROW? (Putting stress on words in capital case?) Please clearify Thank you

[@Theaccentchannel]

Thanks for the question. Both of these are actually correct but they have slightly different meanings. The first example: ARE you going to Paris TOMORROW-implies that that you aren't sure if the person is going or not...ARE you or ARE you NOT? The second example: Are YOU going to Paris TOMORROW - implies that you want to know if this specific person is going..are YOU going or is JAMES going. Hopefully my answer makes sense. Intonation is a tricky thing and very hard to explain in writing! But hope it helps a little.

@@Theaccentchannel As always a very good explanation. Thank you madam

[@reallysarcastic7056]

WH words are generally stressed, but I sometimes hear when getting pronounced as ' wən ' . ı think there's nothing wrong with that.

[@Theaccentchannel]

I agree!
