Hello everyone. I’m Diem from Phat Am Hay.
In this clip, I am gonna show you how to read these two sentences with the American Accent.
Listen to the way the native speaker reads:
“Intonation” is the melody of language and is made up of pitches that rise and fall. This
rising and falling melody is used to communicate our intentions and our emotions.
The difficult words to pronounce are:
intonation /ˌɪntəˈneɪʃən/
melody /ˈmelədi/
language /ˈlæŋgwɪdʒ/
pitches /’pɪtʃiz/
this /ðɪs/
communicate /kəˈmjuːnɪkeɪt/
intention /ɪnˈtenʃən/
emotion /ɪˈmouʃən/
Now, listen and repeat after me:
Intonation melody language pitches this communicate intention emotion
They are the words that are difficult to pronounce.
Next part is liaison or another word is linking.
Listen and repeat after me:
Intonation_is
made_up_of
communicate_our
our_intentions
intentions_and
our_emotions
The last part is intonation: we will raise our voice in the content words, for example nouns and verbs. The stress words are in bold.
“Intonation” is the melody of language and is made up of pitches that rise and fall. This
rising and falling melody is used to communicate our intentions and our emotions.
Now, we will combine all of what we learned today to read these two short sentences. Listen and repeat after me.
Thanks for watching and good luck with your practice.
