A note on the rhythm of English

In English, stressed syllables are long and clear, but unstressed syllables are much shorter and weaker.

This means that unstressed syllables can be hard to hear, because they are said very quickly.

When you speak English, try to make the stressed syllables longer and the unstressed syllables shorter. This will make your English sound more natural.

Spaced repetition

Cramming works for tomorrow's test but not for long-term retention. Spreading your study sessions out over days and weeks is far more effective than covering everything in one sitting.
