Stress timed Lesson Spanish, like Japanese is said as not Stress Timed Language. But I found Spanish speaking people handle Stress Timing easily because my colleague that comes from Chile learns English with me read the textbook with rhythm. To take in the English rhythm when I read text, I accommodate Siri to Australian English and adjust the speed to the tortoise. The first reading is Australian accent and second one is North American reading with a normal speed. I noticed that a is pronounced much longer and stressed than I thought. First diphthong of a is pronouced longer. i in Sit in and fun in is pronouced shorter than I thought. These three findings seem to me as the key of the rhythm.
