Day 20 of 30 Days of Intonation: Hello
 
For Day 20 of 30 Days of Intonation, we have fun with all the different ways you can say this incredibly common (and multi-dimensional) word:

Hello

Learn how to use intonation to greet someone, answer the phone, check if anyone is there, make baby talk, show annoyance or disinterest, and tease a friend!

You really have to hear the difference in intonation to distinguish the meaning, so be sure to watch the video a few times.

Most importantly, this will help you understand the tone in someone's greeting so that you can judge how they really feel about you!

Believe it or not, “hello” can be challenging to pronounce and say correctly in English because it is used in other languages with different tone.

Be sure to practice the different patterns to sound more natural in English.
