Word stress

In longer English words one syllable is louder, longer and higher than the rest, and the others weaken. Stress on the wrong syllable can make a correctly sounded word hard to recognise.

How to make it

Find the stressed syllable (capitals in the syllable breakdown), make it longer and louder, and let the other syllables go short and quiet.
