Hear the natural stress accent of each word. Read aloud — exaggerate the stressed syllable.
The animation keeps a steady pace — use it to prevent the common habit of slowing down on unfamiliar words. In natural reading, pause briefly between phrases.
Bold gold syllables = written stress accent.
| = pause here.
Read slowly and rhythmically, exaggerating the stressed syllable.
Technique: Clap or tap the stressed syllables as you read aloud.
*στόματός: the accent on the final syllable is not a stress accent but an orthographic effect of the enclitic σου that follows — stress remains on στό-.
