Dagmara 1 | 38 9 Aug 2007 / #3I've never given intonation much thought but I think for most people putting the accent on the correct syllable is very hard.
OP confen 10 Aug 2007 / #4impossibleIs this due to the teaching or the lack of exposure to real speech?I work as a voice and accent coach and would like some insider information about areas to look out for.Dziekuje
Wroclaw 44 | 5,369 10 Aug 2007 / #5I don't see the problem here. It's just a matter of listen and repeat [many times].The biggest problems are the age of the student and who taught them previously.The student has to watch the teacher speak as well as listen.
