American English intonation has rising, falling, and wavering tones--each has a specific function and conveys different information to your listener. Use the wrong one, and you could express a completely different message than you intend! Let's practice hearing and producing them. *Welcome to Wake Up American, where Monday through Friday, we spend a couple minutes on a challenging aspect of American English pronunciation and walk through examples to help you achieve a more natural sound the next time you speak in American English at work, at home, or out and about town.See all the episodes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PA83m7lXmjQ&list=PLlZ0dlSbrSXhtU6hvocUB69VuvfWZkgZu❗❗❗❗❗❗JOIN our channel to get access to our Pronunciation Group on Telegram, where you receive feedback and suggestions for YOUR pronunciation every day.
