The rhythm of languages

Mandarin is syllable-timed language.
English is a stress-timed language.
For English beginners, the most important thing is to feel the rhythm.
What is a stress-timed language?
It means that the language follows a very particular rhythm.
We have certain words that are given more emphasis than others.
This is why sometimes when you're listening to native speakers or watching your favorite TV shows, you understand some words more than others.
This is because some words are emphasized more to fit the rhythm and the other words in between those stressed emphasized words get said very quickly and very weakly as well.
So the sounds also change to make it quicker for us to say them and we do this because it needs to fit a particular rhythm.
The rhythm of Mandarin is completely different from that of English.
The stress of each word in Mandarin is the same.
That's why Mandarin sounds less beautiful than English.

普通话是音节计时语言。
英语是一种重音计时语言。
什么是重音计时语言？
这意味着语言遵循一种非常特殊的节奏。
我们有一些词被给予了更多的强调，比其他词更重读。
这就是为什么有时当你听母语人士说话或看你最喜欢的电视节目时，你会比其他人更理解一些单词。
这是因为有些单词要重读以适应节奏，而其他单词在中间，这些重读的单词读得非常快，也非常弱。
所以这些声音也会改变，让我们更快地说出它们，我们这样做是因为它需要适应特定的节奏。
普通话的节奏跟英语完全不一样。
普通话中每个词的重音相同。
这就是为什么普通话听起来不如英语优美。
