Pronunciation: Stress
• Every word is made from syllables.Each word has one, two, three or more syllables.
• In words with multiple syllables, one syllable is stressed. Stressed syllables sound longer than unstressed syllables. They are also louder in higher in pitch than unstressed syllables.

What is Word Stress?
In English, we do not say each syllable with the same force or strength. In one word, we accentuate ONE syllable. We say one syllable very loudly (big, strong, important) and all the other syllables very quietly.
