and -sion
are some of the most common words in English — words such as information
, question
, addition
, nation
, and so on. In this lesson, I will teach you the pronunciation rules for these types of words. Find out what pronunciation stress is, and and what part of the word we place stress on. This video will help you to improve your pronunciation of these common words.

At first I thought it was an optical illutION . . .
because the quiz requires a good comprehensION of the word stress pronunciatION under discusION.

I thought you was going to explain the difference between the sound of -sion vs .tion.
So did I :/
me too
I did ,too:)

Hi Emma how to improve my speaking
Good lesson. I think I have the E and I pronunciation problem. I’ll work on it.
Emma, you’re so great !
Can you show me what methods that I can improve my speaking ? Thank you much, so much.
hehe, i am in VietNam too.
You are gorgeous . MANY THANKS
Thank you for this lesson. I hope to improve my pronunciación with this information.
Pronunciation
As I see you are “Latina”. So do I. The difference of this words ending in cion, sion, in spanish is that the strees goes precisely on this syllable and in English, it goes just before that syllable.
Sorry, Stress…
Thanks Emma !
I just love your class. Thanks Emma
thanks Mis emma
Thank you …9/10 :)
Hi, Emma, you mention many times the word “pronunciation”. Have you notest that these word ended with “ion”? Oh, by the way, I said “mention”? You know in English language in a sentence normally occurs at least one time the use of a “ion” word. Cheers
thanks emma ..
I have difficulty understanding spoken English.Is there someone here who can give me tips on how to improve it?
The only thing that can help you to understand more the spoken English is this;
listen to English, all day long if possible.
Podcasts are great for this, and you can repeat them when in doubt. But also listen to the news, music, movies and of course YuoTube videos in English.
Thank you very much for the tips.
Hi Bia,
I think if you watch movies in English with subtitles also in English will help you to get the pronunciation faster. Other way are the news channels like CNN once you will be listening to the news but at the same time seeing images that can tell you the context and facilitate the comprehension. Hear English all the time, as much as possible, so your mind will start to recognize the new language in a natural way.
I hope it help you in your objective. Take care!

Hi, Muhammad.
I like to use KeepVid, it’s an online YouTube video downloader, but you’ll need install Java in order for it to work.
Just copy the URL of this lesson and paste it on KeepVid. Choose the format and resolution and you are good to go.

Hello Emma, would you mind telling me the rule of pronouncing the letter G as in the word magic and the same letter as in the word big
G as in “big” is called a “hard G”, and G as in “magic” is a “soft G”.
Usually, when the vowel after it is A, O, or U, it’s a hard G. (e. g. “gap”, “goal”, gun”). But if the vowel is E, I, or Y, it’s a soft G (“gem”, “ginger”, “gym”).
If you see two G’s in a row, it’s usually a hard G (“ragged”, “bigger”, etc.) If you see “-ng-“, it’s usually a hard G (“anger”, “banging”, “tangy”).
There are always exceptions! For example, “get”, “girl”, and “forgiven” are hard G’s. “Change”, “angel” and “passenger” are soft G’s. These are only a few, so here’s a longer list.
thanks. perfect !
Awesome
thanks emma 10 out of 10
Dear Emma,

I can’t thank you enough Emma.I do need to take accent training lessons.Would you mind give us accent training course here ?

It will be very helpful.

a
vi
a
tion
I chose the first a. omg..
Thank you for the video..
The same thing happened to me. I wonder what is the difference between the first ‘a’ and the third one.
Hi aroibas. The second ” a ” is louder and longer.The best for you !
Thanks. That’s the rule, the syllable just before -ion.
I haven’t explained well what I was saying. In fact I got 10/10. Just following Emma’s rule.
