Your Rhythm Training Plan
Build natural English rhythm with these daily exercises:
- Clap the beat of sentences while speaking to internalize the stress pattern physically
- Mark stress in new vocabulary — when you learn a word, always learn which syllable gets the beat
- Shadow podcasts — pause after each sentence and copy not just the words but the rhythm and melody
- Reduce function words — practice saying "gonna," "wanna," "hafta" at natural speed
- Record and compare — read a sentence, listen to a native recording of the same text, spot rhythm differences.
