We’re back with the third-to-last video in the pronunciation course! Again, if you guys are ready and requesting the video course, please reach out to me and I’ll make it LIVE on Podia. Until then, this audio is available on all Patreon badges, as stated dozens of times before.
And in today’s episode, I will teach you how to unstress structured words. Remember, structured words make the grammar of the sentence correct, but in spoken English, we often unstress them.
Stressed Words in Sentences! The differences between content/focus words and function words. If you’re having difficulty enunciating words in a sentence, my pronunciation course (available on all Patreon badges) will help you. Video course, at request, will go up on Podia (after the first request). So make sure you ask! Nonetheless, join my Early Access Badge to get the full course!
This is a PHENOMENAL one, especially for those of you who have problems with enunciation and the rhythm in your sentences. Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been coaching a range of students, and one, in particular, has problems with the rhythm in her sentences. Going back to three years ago, I coached a Thai doctor because her rhythm was the exact opposite of what it was supposed to be, failing the 3rd part of her exam to become a doctor in America because the patients didn’t understand her. You have no idea how important it is to have the CORRECT rhythm. So, this podcast is available on all my Patreon badges (if you’re a current student, message me and you get it for free). And if you want the entire VIDEO course to this phase, let inbox me because I will quickly create the course on podia for you. Now, let’s dive into it!
Welcome back to another pronunciation phase! And in today’s episode, we’re going to be discussing how to identify the stressed syllable in words with suffixes.
You are going to learn the following:
– Where to stress words with common suffixes.
– The pronunciation of longer, multisyllable words, especially academic, scientific and technical terms.
– More about vowel sounds in stressed and unstressed syllables.
Here’s the 4th audio of the course! If you’re on my Early Access Badge (5$ a month), getting all the podcasts early (more than 30), or any of the other badges, you’re getting my pronunciation course FOR FREE! Make sure you inquire! And in saying that, here’s a snippet of what today’s audio session is about…..
Many English verbs consist of a prefix (e.g., de-) and a root (e.g., -cide). Listen for the primary stress in the following words in my video.
Decide decide on the next step
Convince convince him to go
Reference refer to your notes
In two-syllable verbs with a prefix, stress the root form.
Additional Task: Use the root forms below to write at least three more two-syllable verbs in each column.

Have you ever been in a meeting where someone is trying to push their point of view on another person? What’s the result of this? Going round in circles, getting angry, then storming off after the meeting.
So, how could you avoid this? Well, next time you disagree with someone, why not try pulling them towards you? In today’s podcast, I’m going to teach you how to encourage people to help them re-evaluate their position and think about your position in a different light.
Before we begin, I wanted to make this as interactive as possible. What you’re going to do is send me a video – yes – a video of you speaking and giving a thorough introduction of yourself (if you want to do an audio, that’s ok, too).
Why? I want to give you feedback on your pronunciation before we begin the course. If I don’t, we’ll never know exactly if you will have improved or not. So, your introduction will be based on the questions down below.
Pronunciation Features
Consonant Sounds
Vowel Sounds
Grammatical Endings
Word Stress
Rhythm
Thought Groups
Focus
Final Intonation
Connected Speech
Consonant Clusters
After you submit your recording, I will grade you in the areas above before sending it to you.

BOOM! A fully loaded podcast we have here! In today’s episode, we’re going to listen to Robert Harrison, head of Marvel Property Solutions; Lisa Catto, who works for The Back Office; Motivational Speaker Phil Berg of BNI UK & Ireland; and Wiktor Kostrzewski, author of quite a few books — talk about idioms, managing customer expectations, and sales targets.
