Question about United States
How do I know where's the stress of the word "monsoon" without referring to the IPA ?
Is it 'mon/soon or mon/'soon ?
I think both sound acceptable for me, but after checking its IPA I know the later one is correct. So I wonder how native English speakers know where the stress is.
thanks a lot🤓

yea I just kinda know... maybe I heard it in the past and my brain just retained that knowledge without having to practice 🤔
I'm not a native speaker but I've been studying English my whole life, I consider myself fluent + I lived in the US and now work with English on a daily basis 😊 and yes English speaking kiddos make all kinds of mistakes, whether it's placing the stress in a word or overall pronunciation of a word

@martajagodzinska: 🤔so you can read this word properly without being told the correct pronunciation before, it this true?
It seems that the correct pronunciation comes so natural to you😆
Do you think this is mainly because you are a native speaker, having listened and spoken English a lot? Do English-speaking children make mistakes in stressed and unstressed syllables？
thank you:-)
