In some languages, each syllable in each word is pronounced with the exact same stress.

2. Only vowels are stressed, not consonants. The vowels in English are a, e, i, o, and u. The consonants are all the other letters.

3. There are many exceptions to the rules. The word stress rules in English are complicated. Remember that there are exceptions to every rule. Use a dictionary to check the word stress of new words. Soon, you will know English well enough to add word stress naturally.

It is important that you stress the right syllables, so people can hear and understand your words.
