the language
2Want to learn to speak the English language?
Well, speaking any language could only happen if
you know how to pronounce each word, know all the
expressions and are aware of all the features of
pronunciation. And, all thanks to the digital
world, the learning of any language is made easy
through various online lessons and tutorials.
English listening online can help you become
familiar with the language credited to be the
most spoken one on the planet. Even though you
can learn the language by reading, listening has
its own importance, for instance, you cant learn
about intonations through listening, but... Hang
on... do you know what intonation is, what is its
importance and how it impacts on speaking of the
language? No? Its the feature of pronunciation
that tells you how to say something, or in other
words, you can say that it is the way voice rises
and falls to lay emphasis on something.
3There are two basic patterns of intonation in
English, which can be learn only if you have paid
enough attention to hearing each word of every
line. The two patterns are falling intonation
and rising intonation.
4Falling intonation This is used when something
definite has to be highlighted and while doing
so, the voice in this intonation falls at the end
of the sentence. The best example of this
intonation is the wh- questions, like - Where do
you work?, Whose wallet is this? (Downward arrow
here represents a fall in voice) Rising
intonation - In this intonation the voice rises
at the end of a sentence. This is very common in
yes-no questions, like are you ok? Have you
completed your homework? (upward arrow here
signifies rise in the voice) While some of the
intonation can be explained in writing, many
cant and so, for learning about intonation it is
essential to listen to the language, which can be
done through English listening online. By
listening, a lot of doubts about various
expressions get cleared. There are many ways of
saying a same sentence, for example in the
sentence Do you want to go there with me? The
rising intonation on the word me explains
surprise and makes the person in question, feel
important. But, if in the same sentence the
rising intonation is on the word there, then it
emphasizes the place in question.
5Intonation or the manner in which a sentence is
spoken may be a small thing, but it makes a huge
difference. If you are really willing to learn to
speak a language, start listening to the English
