English is an unusually rhythmic language where the individual sounds of the language vary greatly in duration according to the meaning intended. This video series moves beyond the idea of individual sounds ("segmentals") and syllable stress ("suprasegmentals") to look at how we group these sounds together into longer speech units and sentences ("prosody"), where rhythm, stress, intonation, focus and thought groups come fully into play.
I can't promise you that this is an exciting video course, but I can promise that you will learn a lot.
