4 PRONUNCIATION

Pronunciation notes:
· Information words are the ones which are usually stressed in a sentence.
These are the words which you hear more clearly when somebody
speaks to you. The unstressed words are heard much less clearly or
sometimes hardly at all.
· Short prepositions (up, for, in, etc.) are not normally stressed except
when they occur at the end of a sentence. Compare Where are you
from? (from is stressed) and I´m from Munich (from is unstressed).
