This unit focuses on the basics of English pronunciation, such as:
- The Three types of Intonation (rise/fall, rise/fall and flat)
- Word stress
- Sound Joining
- Linked Speech
- Basic sounds in English written in phonetic symbols
- Articulation and the anatomy of pronunciation (how to produce certain sounds in English)
As a non-native speaker, this chapter has taught me many things about English pronunciation, such as:
- The different intonations in English and when to use them (for instance; the fall/rise pattern is often used when you want to invite the other person to respond)
- General rules governing word stress; figuring out where to put the stress on the right syllable had always been a real struggle for me
- The four different ways that sound can join together in English (linking, sound dropping with t/d, sound changing and extra lettering)
- The different English sounds written in phonetic alphabet (and more generally, how to read the phonetic alphabet)
- The anatomy of sound production in English
- Different techniques to teach intonation and word stress
