Strong Stress On The Last Syllable
Paul S. Gruber MS, CCC-SLP
Syllable Stress at the End of a Word

When stressing final syllables, think of stressing that syllable in a ‘higher note’, as in a musical melody. Your vocal pitch should go up. You can learn to easily master this skill by completing Session 13 of the Pronunciation Workshop Video Training Course.

Here are some English words that are pronounced with a strong stress on the last syllable:
 
 

again

asleep

below

began

decide

forget

o’clock

herself

repeat

pronounce

afternoon

understand
