424. How to effectively practice your intonation in English [Revisiting favorite episodes]


Listen Later

We’re revisiting some of our most popular and favorite episodes on the podcast.

In this podcast episode I elaborate on how to practice it effectively and integrate it into your day-to-day speech.

Because forming a sentence is not enough. And making the right sounds isn’t enough. It’s the intonation that determines the meaning of the sentence: is it a question or a statement? Is it a joke and you’re just being sarcastic? This is also where culture and your inner feelings are thrown into the mix. Intonation conveys ALL of that.

To do that you need to know how to practice! This is why I also share my most effective practice techniques that I’ve used myself and with my students, that are going to help you improve your intonation and deliver your message in a clear way.

If you haven’t listened to my previous episode about American intonation, don’t miss out on it: https://hadarshemesh.com/podcast/12/
