When you practice this week, use the new reading rule: scan for a meteg (accent NOT on the last syllable), and when you find one, read the word in your head before pronouncing it aloud, working out where the accent goes when you speak it. Then say it aloud with the accent in the right place. Then you’re not repeating a word just to pronounce it correctly. |
