English intonation

Ricard Cuberes from 5A has sent me this video, which gives examples of intonation in English.



I have the feeling it's unfinished, but parts of it are interesting. Thanks Ricard!

Obviously there is a huge difference between Spanish speaker and English speaker but it's like that, you can learn a lot of English and having very poor entonation all your life. Personally, I think you can't learn that in school but you must live with them if you want to catch the rigth entonation. There is no secret!

Hello anonymous!

Obviously the best thing is to go off and live with the "natives" for at least a few months, but the next best thing is listening to as much as possible, trying to imitate the intonation and pronunciation, and practising a lot. If you're constant you can get pretty good results.
