  • English rythm is completely different from my language, French. In English, you usually say a word using vowell-consonnant, whereas in French it is consonant-vowell. I know, it's not very clear. Let me take a few examples:

    1. Television: English: Tel-i-Viz-on, French: Te-le-vi-sion

    2. Canada: English: Can-a-da. French: Ca-na-da.

    3. Elephant: English: El-e-fant. French: E-le-fant.

  • Hi Matthew. I am very delighted to see your video today. I have been living in the United States for the past five years. My speech doesn't sound natural. I could not pass TOEFL speaking section. I have taken it multiple times but I couldn't score 26. I think my main problem is pronunciation. I would like to work on stress, intonation and rhythm. I would like to get your advice how I can be fluent and natural? Also, if there is any CDs or MP3, I can buy and use? I am hoping to hear from you. TXs
