Speak English more naturally: Using rhyme for word stress and intonation
Rhyme is a great way to learn to add intonation to your English speech and to sharpen your pronunciation. In this lesson, we look at nursery rhymes, rap, and poetry as tools to improve spoken English. By using the techniques in this video, you will make your speech sound much more natural. You’ll also find it easier to understand real English speech and conversation. Roses are red, violets are blue, this lesson is useful, so you should watch it too.

In IELTS agree and disagree essay, can I use expostulate instead of disagree? And concur instead of agree?
Many thanks for your help I really like your videos and appreciate your feedback
Hi Ahmedeyab,
Although both words are correct, I would not recommend using them. The examiners will think you memorized an academic word list. Even native speakers would rarely use these words in a short essay.
Muchas gracias Adam! Entretenida y diferente esta lección, pero tendré que leer más poemas. Voy por Williams Shakespeare.
Not sure what this means Maria, but it reads nice :)
Lessons like this are really enjoyable. Thank you.

Rhyme never was my strong side, but this lesson definitely helped me to improve my vocabulary.
Paul Verlaine, French poet, wrote in his “poetic art” : “music above all else” (“de la musique avant toute chose”).

Hi Melody,
There are some proficiency tests you can take, like the Cambridge tests or the IELTS general, etc. These are expensive though. You can also go to a local language school and ask for a level check.

Hi mr.adam…the level of my English can be measured by answering the question or not?
Hi Neuron,
These quizzes are pretty simple. There are tests you can take to get an idea about your English, but you need to pay for these and these and take them in test centers.
Or, you can go to a language school and have them assess your level.
