Again, today I have another word

I'm gonna ask for forgiveness from all of my French speakers and French students out there.

Teaching these the American way, not the French way.

So we have two words that are heteronyms.

They're spelled the same but they have different pronunciations, different meanings.

We have the word "resume," which means to start, and "résumé," which is a document of your experiences.

So difference here: Syllables!

For "résumé," which is how you list all of your jobs , and your education like a CV, we are gonna have three beats: ré-su-mé.

Stress syllable number one. Résumé, résumé, résumé, résumé.

And for "resume" we are going to stress syllable number two and only two syllables this time.

Resume, resume, resume.

So we have: résumé, resume.

Résumé, resume.

Résumé, résumé, résumé. Resume, resume, resume.

And now for a sentence.

Please resume editing your résumé.

Give it a try! People are going to notice the difference.
