hi victoria hope you're doing great , in stress sentence do we stress the content words at different levels i mean do we stress for example a verb more than a noun ?or it depends on the meaning we want to convey
Hi Cristina! I hope you’re doing very well too:) It very much depends on the meaning you want to convey in a given context. Check out my video « Don’t stress about stress » for more examples:)
Hi, Victoria! I hope you're healthy and well too. It's a difficult time for The US and Canada, as I hear in the news. I focus on understanding language details, for now. To sound like American it's still a long way. The tongue would get tangled up if I spoke like that. But with time, with your help, it may succeed. Many thanks for your lesson.
Thanks Emil! How are things in Poland? Haha re: your tongue getting tangled up- doing a lot of listening actually helps production, so keep doing the slow listening, and your brain will better instruct your articulators what to do! You can do it!!! Stay well:-)
In Poland almost everybody stays at home all day. This makes it easier for me to continue 4x15 min. slow speed sessions, without excuses, as you said. Today is 19'th day.
So how would you rank the following in order of importance (for developing a native-like accent): correct vowel & consonant sounds, use of contractions/reductions, word stress & natural intonation patterns?? I’m curious if they’re all equally important or if some outweigh the others 🤓
Hello:-) How are things? I hope you’re doing well! So I do actually change around the priority topics based on someone’s speech profile and their desired outcome. For example, if there are many consonant errors, I find that this often results in lack of clarity. Overall, though, if someone is very clear already, I usually tackle intonation/sentence stress as a priority, then start with the most important vowels, then word stress, then a mix of less important vowels and consonants, in order of priority (I determine “importance” based on frequency and how it affects intelligibility). I see reductions under the sentence stress umbrella. Not sure how helpful this is because I’m generalizing;)
American Accent Mastery Hey! Good so far, thank you for asking! That’s so kind of you. I *always* appreciate your insight and it is very helpful! Seriously, all of your videos are mindbogglingly awesome, and the last few on improving listening comprehension are genius 👍👍
Hi, hope you're doing well. Well i'm familiar with this kind of stuff but what i need more help with are the things such as ''how'd'' like how'd it go or how'd that happen or ''it'd'' it'd be better or ''i'd'' and ''that'd''. When ever i see that ''D'' in the end of a word, sometimes i'll need some time to see what it means, is it ''had'' or ''would'' or ''did''😃 and in some cases i even need help with the pronunciation. Anyway thank you for your time and effort. 🙂
Hi, I hope you're doing really well too:) Those 'd endings are tricky because the /d/ is often unreleased, and hence, doesn't make a sound, but a pause, or in other words, disappears in fast speech! I have another video filmed about contractions, but I didn't include any of those- I'll make a note of it for the future! Also, go to youglish.com and type in the contracted word in quotes to train your auditory perceptual system on these. Take care!!
Hi Lenin! I don’t have a website related to this channel, I’m a marketer’s nightmare;) I’m also not taking any new clients for now because I’m very busy with local clients. If you’d like to get in touch regardless, let me know and I can share my email. Best wishes!

That’s amazing!! Most people start to feel a shift around the three week mark- keep me posted, I’m curious:-)
I feel, it is better every day. It seems to me that it's linear progress so far.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing:-)
Start the slow motion part (0.5x speed) from 08:15
THANKS for that;-)

Speak fast, contract and connect the words right?
That’s three tips;) I just focused on one of them :-)
Thanks fot U
What about (he,she,they,we) can say example: w'll ,sh'll....like that ????!!
Hey Victoria, do you have a website? I'd love to talk to you.

@@AmericanAccentMastery Gotcha. No probs :)
Hi I am from India where you from and what's your name
Basically dumbed down English ;)
Hi Victoria💗
Hello my friend, how are you doing? 🙏
@@AmericanAccentMastery A bit anxious, and you?
Seems the "bestia malefica" ( as I called it = maleficent beast ) is hard to destroy

@@AmericanAccentMastery You too, dear friend 💖
