Comment on When it Comes to Syllables, Stress is a Good Thing by Debbie Rose

Yes, Ling. How to say a new word is one of the greatest challenges in English since the spelling doesn’t help us in any way. Even English speakers won’t always know the stress pattern of a new name or word if they have only seen it in print. Check your dictionary to find out which syllable gets the most stress and then practise, practise, practise!

Daniel,
One trick for words that are challenging to remember where the stress goes is to categorize them. For example, phoTOGraphy, biOLogy, moNOtony…all have four syllables and all have the stress placed on the second syllable.

When you learn a new word, associate the stress pattern with a group of words you already know!

It is hard for me to tell which syllable is supposed to be stressed, and even if I heard the word millions of times, more often than not, I forget to put the stress. I will try to be more mindful of the stress.

“Stressing the appropriate syllable” is the biggest challenge to me. There are some rules that I could follow to help my pronunciation; but still when a new word comes to me, I am confused about the stressing.
