  • What are the rules for word stress in English? In this video I talk about 8 different rules for basic word stress and also talk briefly about sentence stress and how it changes the pronunciation of strong and weak forms of words when speaking English.

    I teach using just one of many accents in the world. Please only learn it if you like it and if you are interested in learning it. I do not believe there is one “correct” accent or manner of pronunciation and I fully encourage EFL/ESL learners to expose themselves to as many varieties of English around the world to become accustomed to the beautiful variations of this world language. I focus mostly on teaching “Modern RP” (I may just say “RP” in my older videos, but to clarify, I do specifically mean “Modern RP”), however, you will hear a lovely little Yorkshire twang to my accent from time to time too. Please LOVE and BE PROUD of your accent. After all, it is part of your identity and makes you unique. 💚

    I have learned a lot from you, Emma and I enjoy every word I hear from you. I close my eyes and I have proof again and again that your pronounciation skills are such that your can be perfectly understood even by a profane like me. Thank you so very much

    Thanks for this. Your sentence stress video really helped. Though I still can't do those perfectly most of the times. And about this video, I used to think there were no rules on word stress but still from following patterns of different words, I was able to figure out the Verb vs Noun rule of two syllable words. The other rules except the sentence one are new to me. Again thanks a lot for these. My pronunciation has become a lot better thanks to your various videos.
    One thing though, I know you mostly do pronunciation videos. But now the thing that I struggle most is punctuation while writing English, which you have probably already noticed.

    Had to learn them by memory and by hearing english speaking friends talk. Nowadays i do it by what "feels right". But these rules are very useful to really learn the language better
