    ★★ WHAT THIS VIDEO IS ABOUT★★
    In this video we are going to look at word stress and sentence stress through the famous song ‘My Favourite Things’ from the 1965 musical film ‘The Sound of Music’. The song works so well because it has been written using triple time like a waltz: it follows the pattern: one-two-three-one-two-three. Throughout the lyrics, all strong syllables fall on the ‘one’ while weak syllables fall on the ‘two‘ or ‘three‘. We are going to have a look at one verse of this song and then you are encouraged to write your own verse telling us about your favourite things.

    Truly great, I just discovered your channel, and you carefully explain things so we can understand them well!
    I did my best in that little modest verse:
    Ocean at sunset
    Forest in darkness
    Making some fiction
    Gazing in the space
    Watching storks standing on high tours like kings.
    These are a few of my favourites things!
    If anything is wrong, please correct it! 😁

    Hi dear Billie, you videos are extraordinarily useful. I'm having a webinar on "Pronunciation Tips and Tricks on IELTS Speaking Test" and I'm going to use some your clips.
    Appreciate your unique efforts 👌 💪 🙂 🙏

    Hi! I have a question. How do we pronounce the prefix re- when it means again? Can /i/ be reduced to a schwa in this case? Thanks!

    • @BillieEnglish
      @BillieEnglish  Před rokem

      Hello Juan! It would usually be pronounced as /ri:/ not /re/. I don't think it would be reduced to a schwa, but possibly to a short /ɪ/. This short /ɪ/ is one of the few vowels that is not reduced to a schwa sound.

    Hi Billie, I noticed you use a lot of rising tone in your sentences, for example, when you say “for copyright reasons”, the word reasons is going up. This doesn’t seem to follow the rising intonation pattern you talked about in the other video. Can you please explain it a bit more? Thanks so much!

    • @BillieEnglish
      @BillieEnglish  Před rokem

      Sure! That's because I'm not in natural conversation with someone but explaining things by partly reading from slides. If you read, or follow prompts to explain something, the intonation pattern is different and not as in natural conversation. It might sound a bit like a list (many rises with eventual fall). I hope this helps!

    Billie English...German is also a stress-timed language like English. Do we stress content words in German? Take:
    wir LERnen ENGlisch. ich HAbe ein BUCH.
    Did I say it right?

    • @BillieEnglish
      @BillieEnglish  Před 11 měsíci +1

      Hello! Yes, German like Neglish is stress-timed and so the same mechanics are at work. And yes, content words are stressed!
