Stress Timing and Rhythm in Sentences: Learn English with Simple English Videos - ESL
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 พ.ค. 2016
- The pronunciation of words changes when they're in a sentence and we stress the words that carry the meaning and de-stress the rest. Learn the secret of English sentence stress timing in this video, along with some great ways to practise.
BIG thanks are due to Inertia, Premsy and Omni for appearing in this video. You can see more of their videos at BEATBOX TV.

I wish you guys were my parents. Absolutely hilarious...
Ha! We'll be glad to stand in as honorary parents any time, Leah.
Wow God, I was trying to forget the socks' music. I was annoyng everybody in my home. Right now I remembered it and can't stop with that!!! It's so cool. 🎶 Black socks never get dirty, the longer you wear them the blacker they get... Oh God, It doesn't go out of my mind!
Oh dear @Alex! We consulted our medical team about the catchy tune problem and I'm afraid the prognosis isn't good. Once stuck in your head the only way to get rid of it is to replace it with an even catchier tune - one that's even harder to forget. The doctors say that you can get some relief by watching our videos though. We prescribe a video a day. :-)
Great Video. I wont abandon my dream of speak english.
Oh no! Never abandon it! Keep up the good work Alejandro. :-)

Woa, this is my first time that I watch your video, and I want to say that I love yours. It's very fun, and very useful. I am trying to teach some students rhythm in English sentences, but I have some difficulties. Some ideas came to my mind after I watched your video. Thank you very much!

It is great! Thank you so much.Can you make more videos about itBecause it so difficult!
Delighted you like it. We'll try.
song about dirty socks... now I've REALLY heard EVERYTHING! :-) It was incredible, amazing, adorable (I guess I can say "adorable" in this case)...
Thank you for the lesson. Very useful tips for raising pronunciation skills are spelled out (?) in it. I have a friend who can quite clearly pronounce english sounds but when he speaks english he still sounds like a russian because of wrong rhythm. So he does need to watch this video.
Hi Nikolay. We hope your friend enjoys the video as much as you. Thanks for writing to us and thanks for watching.

Marvelous

Love it
That's great to hear Erica. Thanks for writing. It was fun to make.
Thanks a lot can you please do lesson about Assimilation and connecting speech they are related to this lesson
Tanks for this suggestion Alma.
Vietnamese is syllable timed. I want to tell you many things but I am afraid to make mistakes, Vicki. Your video is useful, I always had difficult to listen reducing English and pronounce, like that's the, and then to, etc, it's very short, light. Thank you, Vicki.
Oh please don't worry about making mistakes. I can understand everything you've said here, so well done for getting your English to this level. And I'm so glad you like the video.
great video...
So glad you like it. Thanks for writing!
WOW! All your videos I've been watching up until now were really interesting, funny and very informative. But this one is definitely the most awesome one! :D
I know how hard it is to explain stress timing and rhythm for non-native learners.
Your video was so expressive and creative! You made this topic so comprehensible! Thank you so much for this!
... feels a bit like watching music video clips by Eminem :D
And I think I will spend the next time observing how Germans stress and destress while talking. I think we are doing pretty much the same when it comes to stressijng and destrssing, but not that rhythmic. We sound quite steady without pitch variation. ô_Ô
Due to the many glottal stops in German langauge non-natives tend to think we're grumpy ^///^
Thanks so much Steffi. This video has a story. In 2016 we won a TH-cam prize which was to go to NYC for a week with some other promising TH-camrs and receive some training. One of my team mates has a beat box channel and the beatboxers were actually world class. I think one has since won a world championship. When I realised they'd be in the studio I asked them to perform a the little skit for me, but in my excitement, I forgot to ask them to remove clothing and badges with logos. I had to spend days rotoscoping them out because TH-cam doesn't allow them. The deadline was so fast, I didn't have time to fix some of the lighting issues. But maybe one day I'll be able to go back and fix it and make this video look how I'd like it to be.
Oh wow! 😱 What an incredible story! It is super cool, that you did ask them despite your excitement 😍
Argh it's really irritating, even though a naive follower like me can't see any light "problems".
But it's understandable that if you watch this video, these memories pop up 😅
This is one of my favorite videos, nevertheless 😍😍😍
Black socks never get dirty..... 😍😂
So cute u guys🤣🥰🥰🥰
Thanks so much for the kind words 黎小新 . And thank you for watching.
Guys, U r amazing, wish to meet U in real life. 😘
Wouldn't that be fun? To meet in real life, I mean. Merry Christmas Aneis.
Simple English Videos
😍💓
Nice video. Do you speak another language besides English?
Hi Joao. Glad you liked it. I've lived in Algeria and Japan so I learnt French and Japanese. But these days both these languages are very rusty now, I'm afraid. It's sad but if you don't use it, you lose it.
Yea, it it. How about learning Spanish or Portuguese? It would be nice! Taking advantage of the cue, It would be possible to make a video talking about how English influences and is influenced by these Latin languages?
Second verse, pleeeeease :)
Ha! What a great idea! Can you write the lyrics for us?
What are the beatboxers names
I don’t think we ever knew them, Deshik 6. This is Jay writing back to you. They happened to be at the TH-cam Studios in New York when Vicki was attending the TH-cam Next Up training sessions we won as an up and coming channel. So she took advantage of their talents and included them in this video. Take good care and thanks for watching.
"And it's like music because the beat can change. If the beat stayed the same, we'd
all be poets. "? I don't understand. Could you explain ? Thanks
It's because English poetry typically follows an 'iambic pentameter' structure. The rhythm of this is: da-DUM, da-DUM, da-Dum, da-DUM. However when we speak English we often break away from this natural rhythm.
Why do Vicky puts her black socks near her dog?
you are a fucking genius!!!!! so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks.
Delighted you liked it Alan.
In Vietnam, we usually take off our shoes when we're in a house. I see many Americans take off their shoes but still wear their socks. That's weird to me
Oh that's interesting Sam. Thanks for sharing this. :-)
Funny lesson
Glad you liked it Stegalive
3 = free ?
Yes Andre. It is becoming, if not accepted, at least a common pronunciation.
I can't get this right :(
Practice, practice, practice. It'll come!
+Simple English Videos I will practice .
Thank you
As a German it's still strange to see people wear shoes in their own homes.
Yes, it's curious how we do this. We need to replace some carpeting in our house and I was thinking we might try to have a no shoes policy when we do. But it could be a bit awkward when guests come, because it's not the custom here.
thank you so much
You're very welcome.
