Seventh recording

Link to recording

I am still working on connected speech but this week, I tried to focus my practice on suprasegmentals. My intonation and stress patterns at word or sentence level are usually weak and unnoticeable. That is because my first languages, Ateso and Swahili, are both spoken in monotone. My archetype's intonation and stress patterns are pronounced, just like those of other American English speakers. To reach that level has been my goal this week. I will probably practice these features for one more week before moving on to the next feature.
