American English syllable stress is difficult to predict, and when you start adding suffixes to the end of root words, the pronunciation quickly becomes confusing!
But have no fear - this video will make it easy! You'll learn the rules of pronouncing the syllable stress patterns of 5 common suffixes in American English:
- ical (like in "historical")
- ity (like in "availability")
- tion (like in "celebration")
- ic (like in "systematic")
- ify (like in "objectify")
