Pronunciation stress

Hello everybody!

I'm struggling to find the main stress on the following sentence:

"I'm looking forward to working with her again".

Could any native speaker/or just anyone who knows it, help me??

Thanks a lot!!

Emotion: smile

The main stress in the sentence is on the first syllable of the word "forward," that is, on "FOR-". There is a secondary, nearly equal, stress on the first syllable of the word "working," But the main stress is on "FOR-".

It depends on what the speaker wants to stress. Any of the syllables underlined and in bold might take the most stress in that sentence:

I'm looking forward to working with her again.
