This is about the "music" of English - the rhythm, the pace, the connections, the high and low tones (pitch/Hz) - all of this is called "prosody" and "intonation" is the focus on using pitch and duration.
After each Meetup group, I post a video of me pronouncing the words and sentences we practiced. It's a good way to practice whether you attended the Meetups or not.
