Hi モウナHezbri . Dan is very charming!

[@ivoquinteronunez4257]

Hi, I've got a question. When should the intonation go up and down when speaking normally?

[@heidiheimsrobinson6069]

You are both uber cool and an example of playful, joyous process over product guaranteed to get students' Affective Filters down - nothing boring or didactic but very instructive. 😎👍

I think your program is great, but why do you have a symbol of war on the table?

[@minitran1287]

I want to buy a T-Shirt like this.

[@carlwong9643]

Thanks Sian and Dan! I have a question. I checked the notes in the web site saying that "lists generally go down except for the last item, which is rising", however, what I saw in the video is just opposite. Is it the typo ? Thanks a lot!

[@bbclearningenglish]

No, what was mentioned is correct. With lists, the intonation at the end of each item goes up - until the last one, which goes down (to indicate that the list has finished). 😃😃

Sentence stress please ! How am I supposed to teach it!

[@bbclearningenglish]

Hi! Thank you for your comment! There is a video here all about teaching word stress - with a little adaptation, the same techniques can be used for sentence stress. We hope you find this helpful! www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/course/english-you-need/unit-1/session-4
