Being Aware of Prosody

One of the biggest problems when you begin to study English as a second language is not to have proper guidance and awareness to overcome the challenge of a non-phonetic language. That means to drill down the concept of “prosody” that implies melody, rhythm, and stress.  It would have been the best to begin to study the sounds that any other thing.  If I had had teachers that were concerned about this issue, I would speak it with all clarity and confidence.  That’s a shame.  But, today I’m working on my prosody, being engaged in conversation 3 times per week and shadowing with podcasts and movies and fortunately I have the blessing to fall back on a native friend that helps me with my pronunciation.
