Really, your SCE course is amazing! Your guidance and expertise have been invaluable in helping me to grow and improve.
I'm thrilled to hear this! Thank you for watching.
Literally, the BEST video on intonation on YT. Hands down! Can't belive it's FREE! Thank you so much!
Wow, thanks! It's my pleasure to share free resources. 😀
I'm one of your followers from the Philippines! Sorry Ma'am, I'm late but I've taken your lecture loud & clear. Thank you! 😊
Thanks so much for watching, Ronstein Si!
This is so helpful. Thank you!
I'm so glad it was helpful.

Nuances of the language explained with great precision. Thank you so much Ma'am 👌👌🙏
Thanks so much! The intonation in speaking can truly help us to communicate our ideas accurately.
You're so welcome!
Undoubtedly it's a great, great lesson dear Teacher! Congratulations for such a good class, and thank you very much for the great work of teaching English to many English learners. Learning English with such a good teacher seems to be easier, with love and respect...God protect you all.
Thank you! 😃 I'm so glad you enjoyed the lesson.
I tapped on this video to get ideas for creating an intonations lesson plan for a friend. Halfway through, and I realize I'm taking notes on your tactics in pedagogy. I just thought you should know you're an inspiration to students and teachers alike. Thank you
Thanks so much for watching and for the kind comments. I appreciate it and am glad you're enjoying my lesson.
I have mimicked your phrases and intonation for months. It's a good way for me to learn a native speaker's language.
Am I smart? Ha ha~
Ha! Mimicking speakers is an excellent way to practice English. 😀
This is one of the best lessons I have ever watched. Thank you. You are doing a great job.
You're very welcome! I'm grateful to know my lessons are helpful.
Thank you, this video is so helpful and clear!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much! I hadn't found a person who explains these aspects of intonation as well as you.. I hope you keep up posting videos like this.
Thank you for the kind comment, @saraperozo3464. I'm thrilled my lessons are helpful to you.
Hi Annemarie, I was so excited to see you had a lesson on intonation - one of my favorite topics! I love the way you show the power we have in our voice to create understanding in our listener, and to communicate our message with more impact. We actually help our listener follow and deeply understand us when we make effective use of intonation! As always, you bring calm and clarity to the subject you present. 15:30 - such an important and often neglected distinction between the meaning of "What time to you want to meet?" depending on whether or not it's been discussed before! I almost never hear anyone talk about that - kudos!
OMG! How is it that your video does not have 100k likes!? This material is fantastically organized and explained! I loved your video and it is the first time I see one of your videos! Thank you so much for so much effort put into your material!
Very valuable information,presented in an amazing manner.Heartily appreciate.
Your English is so clean and clear. Essentially, I'll have to watch all of your videos and practise more. Maybe my intonation will improve. I think that's the only department I still lack in, but I'll dedicate all my time to mastering it. We really sound strange when we speak with the wrong intonation.
❤I am waiting for your classes about phonetics
so helpful ❤ thank you
You're such a good teacher, it's a natural gift!
Thank you so much. I appreciate the kind comment.
Annemarie, you`re a wonderful teacher! Thank you!
Thank you, Mary.
Thanks a lot Coach.
Thank you for the great effort to make it full of benefits
Very good!!! Thank you
This is great. Thanks!
I'm curious if there's a denomination for the intonation now widely used by most Americans when explaining things
I'm glad this is helpful. Can you tell me a bit more about what you mean with 'denomination of the intonation now widely used?'
Great!❤
In my opinion, we should definitely continue this project.
This is gold! Thank you so much!! 👍👍
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks a lot

Please do a video on the definite and indefinite articles. They can get confusing sometimes.
Thank you for the suggestion! I can certainly add that to my list for future lesson topics.
Thank you!!!How important is intonation and you show it very clearly!!!You know...Your FAN "NUMERO UNO" from Mexico City.
You're very welcome, Miriam!
Great
good
awesome
awsome as your habit
Thank you so much for your useful and impeccable lessons. I'm Amir from Iran. I have three questions about American English pronunciation:
1) “We’re booked on Air Canada” why we pronounce “ed” as “D” sound? The sound before Ed ending is unvoiced so the ED ending becomes a T sound and we will lightly release the T and connect it into the next sound which is a vowel.
2) In “Could I have a pillow, please?” , “I do have a small bottle of lotion” and “Don’t you have a watch on?” we reduce “have” but it’s the main verb and it’s not helping verb so it’s content word. But in this example “I only have a carry on” we don't reduce it.
3) why in these two examples “what was his name again?” and “Was he there?” we reduce “was” to “wəz”? I know it’s natural to say that but grammatically “was” is the main verb and technically we can’t reduce it.
I look forward to receiving your response as soon as possible.
Thank you for the questions, Amir. I'll certainly consider these for future lesson topics. Are the example sentences you shared from specific examples you've heard?
@@Speakconfidentenglish Thank you so much for your response. Yes, I've heard these phrases in movies ,Tv shows and also from youglish website expressed by native speakers.
Hello AnneMarie.. great class amazing teacher.. as usual you rock🙂
Thank you so much, Annemarie! I am learning a lot and feeling more confident. I have a question to better understand how to use intonation: if I got it right, rising intonation in a statement is used to hold attention, until you are done and will use falling intonation. In the Intonation Use 3, at 11:16 mark you use a rising intonation on the last word "ever". In this way wouldn't people think that I still have something to add, since I am not using the falling intonation on the last word of the sentence? If not, could you explain how to express surprise etc. and let people understand you are done talking? It is still so hard for me getting the right intonation, since I have to think first about how to "translate" my thoughts first, where to place the stress, and how to link and shorten unstressed words. Thank you!
Thank you for the question. We can use intonation for multiple purposes and, in doing so, we consider the context of the entire sentence or conversation. As noted with that example, we can express enthusiasm and excitement with rising intonation as well. If it were a conversation, I might continue after expressing my excitement by asking a question. It may also be understand by the listener (based on the context of my statement) that I'm expressing excitement without the expectation for further comment.
@@Speakconfidentenglish Thank You very much for the explanation!
Dear Madam, with all reswpects to your knowledge, offering 10 common uses of English pronounciation patterns is may be for a general overview of applying intonaton, but in temrs of teaching, it lacks methodology of separating the 10 uses by levels of understanding , i.e. beginners, intermediate or advanced. Best regards. Paul, 66, retired teacher of technical English.
Hi Annemarie,
An interesting and informative lesson. I sincerely appreciate your efforts and learnered many new things. It is truly useful to all learners.
Thanks and regards,
Thank you, Manish Sharma!
