Learn how to sound more natural in English by mastering word stress in reflexive and impersonal pronouns as well as how to group your words into thought groups for smoother, clearer speech. In this accent reduction lesson, I continue to work with Nitish, a student from India, to practice natural stress and rhythm in his self-introduction. Together, let's practice how to: ✔ Say pronouns in context ✔ Use thought groups to organize ideas while speaking ✔ Use intonation and rhythm for clarity ✔ Build confidence to speak more naturally and fluently This series is for intermediate and advanced learners who want to reduce their accent, strengthen rhythm, and improve pronunciation in real communication. #AccentReduction #LearnEnglish #AmericanAccent #EnglishPronunciation #WordStress #ThoughtGroups #EnglishWithJennifer #ESL #SpeakEnglishNaturally #PronunciationPractice CHAPTERS 0:00 Preview 0:22 Intro to stress in pronouns 0:40 My free digital downloads 0:54 Reflexive pronouns 2:13 Practice more with me 2:57 How skills are related 4:06 Indefinite pronouns 5:11 Stress with pronouns 6:01 Practice a dialogue with me 7:05 Content words within thought groups 10:20 Marking up thought groups in a text 13:39 Nitish gives his self-intro 14:25 My evaluation 14:54 How to gain more practice and feedback Thanks to Nitish for coming on camera with me!
