We learn that English is a stress-timed language and there is another groups of languages called syllable-timed languages. We discuss what this means to a learner of languages - how to learn a language from the other group and how to teach the learning of each. We talk about the history of different languages, language evolution and what this means for learners coming from other languages. We even discuss the scientific links between pronunciation and listening skills. There's plenty of tips for learning languages in this episode. If you struggle with elements of pronunciation, connected speech and vowel sounds, then this is the episode for you! We're sure you'll feel less under the pump after listening to this episode.
