One of the best videos on Intonation learning! Surprisingly, I had exactly used these 3 techniques when I was learning German and it worked miracles in my German intonation. At that time, I didn't know these techniques even existed! I tried to find some ways to make intonation learning easier for me and I reached these 3 techniques on my own! And now I see that you are teaching these. I can just say these 3 techniques are AWESOME. But they are time-consuming. You really have to spend a lot of time on it.
Hi Zachariah - Woo-hoo!! I'm thrilled that you found this video, and that you've already been using these techniques to improve your German intonation! That is fantastic! Thank you so much for your comment - it made my day :)
@@SanDiegoVoiceandAccent I'm still waiting for you to write a comprehensive book on American accent and intonation. 🤩🇺🇸 I hope you start writing it sooner.
@@zachariahhajian Thanks! Well, instead of a book, I'm creating an online training program called English Pro :) This will have hundreds of training videos, audio recordings, and weekly live classes, which I think is a better format for learning the American accent than book training. English Pro will be ready for enrollment in September. If you're interested , here's the website: courses.sandiegovoiceandaccent.com/bundles/english-pro
Thanks for your comment, and thank you for your support as a member of my TH-cam channel! :) Whenever I struggle with identifying the intonation of a speaker, I slow down the recording as much as possible - even slower than I showed in this video - and I loop it even more times than 10 in a row. I may also sing along to the recording, note by note, to make sure that my voice is doing exactly what the speaker's voice is doing. It's challenging for sure, but the more you practice listening for intonation, the easier it will be to hear it :) I hope this helps!
Mam are you doing really well . I want to follow one teacher in order to master my American accent so I found that you are the best one . Dear teacher keep it up and upload more , more ,more videos about American accent intonation and rhythm
Good day to you. Excause me, May I ask you a question, please? As an English native-speaker, are you able to understand Britain's Idioms, phrase verbs or slang, thank you very much.❤
It depends on the idiom, phrase, or slang. Sometimes I can understand it if I'm familiar with it, but other times I have no idea what they are saying :)
i haved fun with you video, when you have say Over over again I have continue it with some song lyrich Called Eve Destruction by Barry Mcguire. Btw thankyou mam from the video really helpfull
¡Hola, Rudy! Espero haber entendido bien tu pregunta. A veces, la T se cambia por una D ligera (la aleta). Depende de los sonidos que rodean a la consonante T. :)
Hi Djono - Thanks for your question :) I don't know of any apps that do a good job of teaching intonation, but I'll continue researching and if I find any good ones, I'll let you know :)
Hi Julie, I have a question? How do we pronounce the phrase "Have fun!". The reason why I'm asking this question is because I think it's kind of tricky There's a [v] sound followed by a [f] and when I hear native speaks saying this phrase I don't hear a break between the [v] and the [f] sounds. To my ears it sounds like a two syllable word with the stress on the second syllable but it doesn't sound like [hæv'fʌn] because I don't hear the [v] sound, I only hear the [f] sound. So to me it sounds more like [hæ'fʌn] with no [v] sound at all. Do my ears decieve me? Is the [v] sound dropped in this phrase?
Hi Bruno - Thanks so much for your question! Your ears are correct - the /v/ in "have" is typically devoiced when it links up with the /f/ in "fun" (or it's partially devoiced), so essentially what a person ends up saying is one /f/ sound :)
I like your teaching stile Julie 😊 Hope one day I"ll start your English Pro course. Thank you 🙏
Thanks so much, @SauliyaZhumagalieva! I'm thrilled to learn that you like my teaching style, and I hope to see you in English Pro soon! :)

This is incredible and yet I can't figure out the right drawing. It feels like I am not hearing the subtleties of change of intonation.
