Level: High beginner - Advanced

Detailed Description:

We are committed to creating the most enjoyable interactive and effective pronunciation app on the market. We think we have succeeded.

For each of the 10 units the Pronunciation Tutor guides you through an interactive introduction to the target pronunciation topic. You then complete a series of fun active exercises that systematically improve your pronunciation fluency and grammatical awareness.

In the Practice exercise you will listen to a series of words and short sentences and then record yourself as you repeat them. You can then compare your pronunciation with the model. The super-intuitive exercise design makes this task easy enjoyable and incredibly effective.

In the Contrasts exercise you will listen to and repeat pairs of words with similar sounds that are often trouble spots for many students. This minimal pairs-type exercise develops phonetic awareness needed for accurate pronunciation of vowel and consonant sounds.

In the Listening Quiz exercise you are quizzed on the contrasts from the previous exercise. You hear a word or a sentence and then must identify which word/sentence you heard. Was it feet or fit? Was it wait or wet? This exercise gives you instant feedback on whether you can hear the sounds of American English accurately.

Finally in the Speech Recognition exercise you can test your progress in real pronunciation by choosing and saying a word from the list. If the word is recognized correctly you will know you have achieved clarity and comprehensibility! If not the app will tell you what it thinks it heard and you can adjust your pronunciation and try again. This exercise will push you to make the necessary changes to improve your articulation and clarity.

EASY BEAUTIFUL and FUN! We have put tremendous effort into the design and intuitiveness of this app. It is an amazingly complete yet easy to follow program.
