Advanced Word Stress - Practice Contrast Between Stressed and Unstressed and Reduced Syllables

Let's dive deeper into the nuances of word stress in American English! In this video, you'll learn how to create contrast between stressed and unstressed and reduced syllables. We'll practice all 20 vowel sounds in American English in two-syllable words so you get more comfortable making the stressed syllable longer, louder, and higher in pitch. You'll also try to relax on unstressed and reduced syllables, making them shorter, quieter, and lower in pitch. Knowing how contrast works and understanding how it sounds will help you master the natural rhythm and melody of American English.
