Question
what are the difference between Arabic and English stress

Answer
Hello,

Thanks for your question. I'm not sure I entirely understand your question but if you mean stress in the emotional sense then this is kind of difficult to answer as one can not generalise. I guess you could say that Arabs are more direct about stress and more likely to vent.

Hope that helps
