This is Lecture 27 of our series in prosody, surveying first the general needs of learners, and then some specific needs of people wanting to become better public speakers, to have better relationships, or to become fully effective in a new language. We discuss some especially hard-to-master aspects of prosody, overview some teaching methods, and tell some anecdotes about famous linguists and their discoveries.
