Now, what really will have people say, hey, where are you from?
That's a nice accent is the emphasis we put on the word itself.
That's where we have to be dead on.
For example, hospital versus hospital.
I went to the hospital for stitches hospital.
Right.
Or refrigerator versus refrigerator or institution versus institution.
That is something we have to be right on in order for us to sound authentically American, because if
we are off just with one beat, for example, hospital institution, then that's when people realize,
hey, you're not from here, where are you from?
I like that accent.
Right?
We don't like that.
What you'll find with what to emphasize in words is it's usually one of the targets, like constantly.
That's a 12 constantly versus constantly.
Right.
Leveled off or distribution.
Emphasizing the nine distribution versus distribution, or sophisticated, sophisticated, sophisticated,
emphasizing that it is sophisticated, a good way to practice that is, of course, again really building
that memory back by watching a lot of American television and American news, national news, because
you could really hear those words.
The more you build up that database, the more when you're off on a war and a rhythm within a word,
for example, comprehension.
You'll know that if you say comprehension.
Hey, wait a minute.
Again, comprehension, comprehension.
That sounds more familiar to me.
Again, it's being familiar with it, building up that database.
The more you listen with that filter or with that attention, the more words you're going to absorb
into your memory bank.
