1.  English is stressed based
     - important syllable in word
     - important words in sentence
     spa - GET - tti 
     bas - GET - tti 
     spas - GET - tti 

     Oak'ville  <—correct
     Oakville'
      oakville  (flat)
2. Words don't start with vowels
     - we speak what is easiest
     - languages alternate
        consonant - vowel-.....
        Can I have a bit of egg?
        Kan nI ha va bi da vegg?
3. Collocations 
      **** should we teach them?
               Is there a list somewhere?
     Unique way to say something
      - not grammar 
     Fall in love (not 'to', 'with', ...)
     Do the dishes (not 'wash')
     Have dinner (we don't say 'ate')
     Made chicken (not 'cooked') was 
      Xxx merry birthday
      Xxx happy Xmas
