    Word stress and intonation patterns are learned by listening. They're never actually "taught". It's amazing how much is going on in our language when we take a closer look!! 🙂

    Great!
    These things are really important, and as a non-native English speaker, I
    just pronounce words in the same way, but I know that it is incorrect. In
    our local reality, we don’t meet native English speakers on regular basis,
    so there is a practical issue with us to find these stuff; so, how to get
    it fixed in our local context? Watching English movies, watching YouTube
    programs, listening to audios of native speakers and so forth would be
    okay, but there is a vacuum still with our setting.
    Good luck and bye for now!
