HOW COULD A TEACHER HELPHOW COULD A TEACHER HELP

I practice a lot on my own by copying recordings I hear, but

when I try to speak to native speakers I fail terribly!

On the oral presentation I feel a litle nervous.it remains me that a good speakers includes so many meanings, such as a proper tone, compatible body gestures and so on. Many people are not accustomed to use body language when they speak maybe the traditional character

The rhythm and accent in sentences are very

interesting. It can also help us to speak clearly

But sometimes I do not know when we speak which word

should be stressed which word should not.
