Stress-timed language vs syllable-timed language r 3 1 1

To speak in the rhythm of English, we first need to know that English rhythm is different from the rhythms of syllable-timed languages such as Korean, French, Spanish and Hindi. Without understanding this fact, we cannot really "sing" in the tune of English when we speak English. This video explains the following two concepts: stress-timed vs syllable-timed. The video is based on my prosody course: www.nanheebyrnes.com

Thank you for the comment. To speak in the rhythm of English, you need to know how to divide phrases into rhythm units (or feet), which in English are normally headed by a stressed syllable and optional unstressed syllables: unstressed syllables usually attach to the left side of the stressed syllable. You can find examples of rhythm units and phrases in my video on English feet." ua-cam.com/video/MZ3a94xz61w/v-deo.html
