1. Intonation is everything. The same sentence can mean different things depending on your intonation.
2. Intonation provides context and helps us understand when the sounds you hear can be interpreted as different words.
3. Practise shadowing: mimic the voice (the intonation and pacing of the voice as well as the words if you can) and focus on the emotion of the speaker.
