One of the most challenging,

and sometimes frustrating, aspects of English

is predicting where the primary stress should be in a word.

Primary stress is the one syllable in a word that sticks out the most:

It’s longer, louder, and higher in pitch.

In this video,

we’ll dive deep into the world of primary stress

and I’ll teach you, first, how to identify it, and then

- how to predict it in some cases.

And if you know me,

you know that effective practice is my THING.

So I’ll show you my 3-step system

for identifying and practicing the primary stress.

Use it to see results

and feel more confident and clear when communicating.

Learn 7 words in English that are actually 14 words!

These words can be either nouns or verbs,

depending on where you put the stress when you pronounce the word.

That means that these words are spelled the same,

but have different functions depending on the way we say them.

I’ll teach you the rule,

go through the words and explain the noun and verb versions of each,

and then we’ll do some practice. Let’s start!

When I'm drivin' in my car
and that man comes on the radio
and he's tellin' me more and more
about some useless information
supposed to fire my imagination.
I can't get no, oh no no no.
Hey hey hey, that's what I say.

I can't get no satisfaction,
I can't get no satisfaction.
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try.
I can't get no, I can't get no.
