🔥 Phonetics Hack!

🔥 — Stress the RIGHT syllable!

In English, stressing the WRONG syllable can make you hard to understand — even if every other word is perfect!

Watch this:

Photograph — PHO-to-graph
/ˈfəʊ-tə-ɡrɑːf/ (BrE)

Photographic — pho-to-GRAPH-ic
/ˌfəʊ-tə-ˈɡræf-ɪk/

Photography — pho-TOG-ra-phy
/fə-ˈtɒɡ-rə-fi/

Notice the stress shift:

PHOtograph (noun)

photoGRAPHic (adjective)

phoTOGraphy (noun)

Same root word — completely different stress! 🤯

Practice saying all three out loud — slowly at first, then faster! 🎤
