EIM Workshop Online Resources:Unit 3: Sylables and Word Stress

In the pronunciation exercise this week we looked the question of the number of syllables in words and word stress. This is, as we found, an important issue if one wants to be understood.

While not always essential, making sure that one utters the correct number of syllables in a word and puts the stress on the correct syllable [if there is more than one, can make all the difference between being understood or not.
