Camilo: How do you pronounce the name of these words? Anthony: Well, Its really easy. You need to pay attention to the stress of the word. The stress is the strength we make to emphasize one syllable in a word. This is very important because native people do it when they talk. If you dont pronounce it properly, native speakers cant understand Lets me show you. Colombia In the word Colombian, the stress is on the second syllable. Anthony: Try to say these words with the stress, follow the image as an example: Brazil Now, listen to the pronounciation Anthony: Try this word.
