[matrouk]

Oh my gosh! I was totally struggling with this. English is my second language and I have a term paper due to explain stuff about the iambic pentameter in the poems of Shakespeare. This helped me so much. Kudos on making it so much more interesting! Thanks A LOT!

[pschlosb]

Great vid on Iams!! (not the pet food, but the poetry pattern, hehe). You all are crazy, it was a fun video and I really learned alot about a very simple poetic technique, that of course, higher academic types make way over-complicated. It's amazing how the most simple things can be lost with over thinking and over intellectualzing

[KidVVill]

THANK YOU!

I'm in college taking a course on British Literature, and I really didn't understand how it worked until you two so humorously illustrated.

Wonderful job, I'll never forget it! :D

[TRG177]

Okay, thank you, i understand it now, but seriously, that part with the basketball made me trip balls

[astronomicat]

[cappy014]

[ee8517]

I think what people find difficult to understand is how stress works in general. Any English speaker is able to put the stress on the right words, but it's something they do without thinking about it. It's in the fabric of the language itself.

And then meter is a kind of abstraction, and it's quite difficult to wrap your head around it. You could say that meaning is not really divided into sentences when we speak, but that a sentence is just an abstraction of a unit of meaning.

[ee8517]

This was funny, but a little sinister :D Associating stress with yelling and screaming might not be that helpful.

Also, I tend to think of the iambic foot as one thing and the five beat line or pentameter as quite another. There is something particular about the line length itself. Iambic tetrameter sounds very different from pentameter even though the basic principle is the same.

[milkseducerx0x]

LMAO, this was helpful and funny but I'll still kinda confused >_>

[bookkwwoorrmm]

hha u hellahelped me thanks!

As someone else said below, you really do have the hearts and minds to teach.

EXCELLENT JOB!!!!! :D

[SomeIrishGuy19]

@mistimtnblue Home schooled eh. The world is round, orbits the sun and is older than 6000 years old . Environment doesn't influence sexual preference and there's almost defiantly no god, spirits or an afterlife.

[ForeverDissevered]
