| Sentence stress is a pattern of stressed and unstressed words across a sentence. The emphasis is on words that carry important information:
- nouns
- verbs
- adjectives
- negatives
- numbers
A word is stressed correctly, when the stressed syllable of that word is longer, louder, and higher in pitch.
I’m showing you the software that can help you check if you’re stressing words enough.
“Enough” means that you’re creating a clear contrast between stressed and unstressed words.
You need to know how to measure your results and what measurement system can even apply to improving your fluency.
If there are no long and short vowels in your first language, or if all syllables are stressed exactly the same in your first language (Spanish, Portuguese, etc..), it’s probably difficult for you to hear if the word/syllable is long enough.
