stressed and unstressed syllables

[@Bailey-vw9hd]

I could not understand stressed and unstressed syllables when the teacher taught it, and was failing my test This video helped me understand, so thank you great explaining

I am glad you found it helpful. I am hoping to do more pronunciation videos in the coming months.

@@TeacherDanFitz Me too iam trying to analyze poem structure,so this is needed especially for iambic pentameter

[@vedantsridhar8378]

Literally we have poetry for literature lesson and we have to find the meter of the poem, and all the teacher said was the meter name depends on stressed and unstressed syllables. But I was like what is it and I started lagging behind the class. Now after watching this video I literally understand what it is, since you explained it so neatly, even with proper tone and pitch. Great job! This video really deserves more views and likes and teachers should use videos like this one to explain such things, instead of being so vague while explaining.

Thanks. Please share the video with your teacher for future classes.

Thank you for watching the videos. I have a lot of Vietnamese students in my classes this semester. Often Vietnamese speakers have problems with consonant sounds at the end of words. Print the worksheet below and do the activities with a partner. It might help with your pronunciation. docs.google.com/document/d/1_jRAK1nPs5PwHMAqYrm-B9fOLS8lb5aVAKJwfGo5gYI/edit?usp=sharing

[@ijaz6936]

This is guiding in me in the right direction. I fully understand that syllables can be either stressed and unstressed. I’m just having trouble identifying if a syllable is stressed or unstressed. I hear I could look up the word in a dictionary and I could see if any syllables are stressed or unstressed

[@TeacherDanFitz]

That's true. In some dictionaries there is an apostrophe after the stress syllable. Some dictionaries capitalize the letters in the stressed syllable.

[@jessikostic3689]

Thank you. I understand stressed and unstressed words now. This helps me with my past simple understanding.

[@lapnghiepshopee]

First of all, i thank you so much. The 2nd, ihave one question: must the child in your country learn syllable, words stressed or something like that?

[@TeacherDanFitz]

no. Children in the US don't have to learn those things. If someone wants to learn English as a second language, they may need to learn these things to achieve better pronunciation.

[@lapnghiepshopee]

@@TeacherDanFitz thank you, more one question: Do they learn IPA chart? Can they write the transcript of the written words like like = /laik/ ?

[@TeacherDanFitz]

@@lapnghiepshopee No, they don't learn that. IPA probably would not help you speak Vietnamese better, but it would help me speak it better.

[@dharmendraumath2977]

sir, may i unterstand in a way that if i pronunce thevsyllable while taking breathe in it would be stressed and while giving the air while breathing i pronunce the syllable it would be unstressed.....

[@TeacherDanFitz]

You exhale for both stressed and unstressed syllables. The difference is that stressed syllables are louder, longer and higher. Unstressed syllables are quieter, shorter and lower. Also often the vowel sounds in unstressed syllables are reduced to /uh/ or /i/. Let me know if you would like to work on some pronunciation over skype.

Not sure if you'll reply on such an old video, but from what I can understand, is the main difference between the 2 comes from which syllable has more emphasis to it. Is this correct or have I mistaken something?

Yes. That's the main difference. You show that emphasis by lengthening the vowel sound in the stressed syllable

Often? Why often not ofen Why did you pronunciate the T?

Great question. You are correct we usually don't pronounce the 't' in 'often' with American English pronunciation. Why did I do it? I don't know. I guess I was using slow careful speech, so I pronounced sounds that we usually eat when speaking at more natural speeds.
