    I love ur accent, ur accent is understandable speed, but many non native English learners can not understand double speed English.

      Thanks for the kind words! I encourage you to check out some of my videos on stress and contrast. Native English speakers reduce less important words and syllables, and linger on stressed syllables of key words. This can be challenging to follow if you're expecting to hear each syllable pronounced clearly. It takes some time to train your ear, but it will get easier to follow what people are saying once you know what you're listening for!

    How to decide which word to emphasise in a sentence? How to change monotone to more lively speech ?

    • @Englishwithkim
      @Englishwithkim  Рік тому +1

      Great questions. Have you seen this video on how to change your meaning with your voice? ua-cam.com/video/NzFdvv6hDno/v-deo.html It explains how we emphasize neutral sentences, and how we can change that stress around to express different meanings.
      You can work on more lively speech by increasing your pitch range and being sure to stress key syllables in key words and using thought groups to break up your ideas. I encourage you to check out this video on finding your flow when speaking English: ua-cam.com/video/Haf1hUDql8s/v-deo.html
      Of course, there are many more tips I've shared on this topic, so be sure to check out my other videos on intonation!

    Linking is also difficult in english when ,you're native english speaking so fast and you link words.

    • @Englishwithkim
      @Englishwithkim  3 роки тому

      Have you seen this video on finding your flow when speaking English? ua-cam.com/video/Haf1hUDql8s/v-deo.html Native speakers linger on key words, and move more quickly through less important words. Linking and reductions help us speak more efficiently, but the meaning will still be clear if you listen to the words that are stressed. I agree that linking is hard when you're thinking about it in terms of rules, and that's why I emphasize speaking with clear stress instead.

    Where do you speak from ?
    Chest or center of the mouth and what’s the tongue placement ?
    do I focus on speaking from center of mouth or (upper chest) resonance I’m so confused
    Btw nice channel :)

    • @Englishwithkim
      @Englishwithkim  3 роки тому +1

      My understanding of resonance in American English is that sounds start in your chest, travel through a relaxed throat, and reach their fullest resonance in the center of your mouth. We focus on relaxing and bringing the voice down into the chest to give the sound fullness, richness, and power. Resonance (also called placement) is challenging to understand and explain, and that's why I encourage you to experiment until your voice has the quality of sound that you're looking for!

      Thanks for your response and encouragement. Sorry for any inconvenience, but I want to know if you don't mind suggesting trustworthy institutes that offer one-to-one conversation sessions. I find some websites on the internet, but I don't know whether they are real or fake pages or if their speakers are professional ones. I will really appreciate this because I am a novice English teacher, and I want to progress further in my career. Thanks for taking time to read this.

      Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with any particular institute or educator who offers one-to-one conversation sessions. It's always worth checking the websites of UA-cam educators (or podcasters) whose teaching style you like to see what they are offering.
