🗣️ Pronunciation & Speaking

#1 Pronunciation learn + test

Read aloud and get a score. Read the phrase aloud. Accuracy, fluency and completeness are scored automatically, word by word.

#2 Pronunciation for Beginners learn + test

First steps in speaking. The same pronunciation check on short, simple units, for learners taking their first steps in speaking.

#3 Say It Right learn + test

Listen, say it, and find out how close you were. A focused pronunciation pod: the learner hears a target word, records it and gets an instant AI verdict. Where a sound goes wrong, an articulation tip explains how to place the tongue and lips — and the session adapts to the learner's age band.

Research basis: Combines model-listening, imitation and articulatory guidance with automated speech assessment.

#4 Karaoke learn + test

Sing into a natural rhythm. Learners follow highlighted text synced to audio, reading or singing along in real time. Music and rhythm slip stress patterns and connected speech into memory almost effortlessly.

Research basis: Musical rhythm and singing support phonological memory and pronunciation.

#5 Minimal Pairs learn + test

Ship or sheep? Train your ear to tell them apart. Learners hear words that differ by a single sound — ship/sheep, bat/bet — and choose what they heard. Systematic contrast training rebuilds the perceptual categories the first language blurs.

Research basis: Perceptual training of contrastive sound categories (Flege; Bradlow).

#6 Sound Sniper learn + test

Catch the target sound in the stream of speech. A target sound is announced — then words rush past, and the learner must catch only those that contain it. The game sharpens phonemic attention: the ability to hear single sounds inside whole words.

Research basis: Explicit attention to individual phonemes accelerates acquisition of sound distinctions.

#7 Minimal Pairs Battle learn + test

Listen, then produce — under pressure. An advanced arena for sound contrasts: learners not only distinguish tricky pairs by ear but also produce them, while the AI checks whether the contrast is audible. Speed and scoring add competitiveness.

Research basis: Combining perception and production training strengthens sound mastery.

#8 Tongue Twister learn + test

She sells seashells — will you survive it? Learners record themselves racing through English tongue twisters while the AI scores clarity and accuracy. The playful load of hard sound sequences builds pronunciation mastery and confidence.

Research basis: Repeated practice of demanding articulatory sequences improves fluency.

#9 Shadow Reading learn + test

Speak along with the native voice, syllable by syllable. Learners listen to a model recording and repeat simultaneously or with minimal delay, shadowing rhythm, stress and intonation. AI feedback shows how closely their version tracks the original.

Research basis: Shadowing is a well-studied technique for improving pronunciation and fluency.

#10 Intonation Match learn + test

Same words, different melody, different meaning. Learners listen to utterances and match them to the meaning the intonation carries — a question, surprise, irony, doubt. Then they produce the melodies themselves with AI feedback.

Research basis: Discourse intonation carries grammatical and attitudinal meaning (Brazil).

#11 Word Stress Battle learn + test

PHOtograph or phoTOgraphy? Stress decides. Learners identify and produce the stressed syllable in English words, where stress can completely change meaning and grammatical role. Fast rounds make stress patterns automatic rather than memorised.

Research basis: Lexical stress is a primary cue in recognising English words.

#12 Connected Speech learn + test

Why gonna and wanna are real English. Learners learn to hear and produce the reductions, linkings and elisions of fast natural speech: want to → wanna, did you → didja. Decoding real speech stops being a mystery.

Research basis: Connected-speech phenomena are a major barrier to listening comprehension.

#13 Emotion Reader learn + test

Read the sentence as the feeling demands. Learners read sentences aloud while expressing a given feeling — joy, anger, doubt — and the AI evaluates whether the voice truly carries it. Pronunciation practice meets expressive speech.

Research basis: Vocal expression of emotion rests on measurable acoustic features.

#14 Pronunciation Detective learn + test

Catch the mispronounced word in the recording. Learners listen to recordings containing deliberate pronunciation errors and hunt them down. Noticing what's wrong in someone else's speech sharpens control over their own.

Research basis: Noticing errors is a precondition for acquisition.

#15 Read Aloud learn + test

Read the text — the AI listens and coaches. Learners read short passages aloud while the AI evaluates accuracy, rhythm and clarity word by word. Rereading the same passage turns halting decoding into smooth, confident speech.

Research basis: Repeated reading aloud is one of the best-supported methods for developing fluency.

#16 Listening learn + test

Hear it, understand it, prove it. Learners listen to short audio clips and answer comprehension questions. Replay is available, and questions target both the gist and the detail, training real-world listening strategies.

Research basis: Built on process-oriented listening instruction.

#17 Listening Diagnostic learn + test

Find out exactly where listening breaks down. A two-stage diagnostic: first learners show whether they decode the sounds and words, then whether they understand the meaning. Separating the two reveals whether the problem is in the ear or in the language.

Research basis: Distinguishing decoding from comprehension focuses the intervention.

#18 ABC Chant learn · teacher window

The alphabet with rhythm in its bones. Learners chant the alphabet and letter sounds to a beat, record themselves and get playful feedback. Rhythm turns a memorised sequence into durable memory.

Research basis: Rhythmic chants and jazz chants aid retention of language patterns.

#19 Letter & Sound learn · teacher window

The first link: letter to sound. Beginners connect English letters to the sounds they make, one match at a time. This is the entry point to the phonics route for the youngest and newest learners.

Research basis: Grapheme-phoneme knowledge is the foundation of reading acquisition (Ehri).

#20 Phonics Pairs learn · teacher window

Match the spelling to the sound it hides. A matching game where learners pair spelling patterns with the sounds they represent — including hard ones like igh and ough. English spelling stops being random.

Research basis: Learning rime patterns and analogy supports decoding of opaque spelling.

#21 Listen and Point learn · teacher window

Hear the word, touch the picture. The simplest listening game: a word is heard, the learner taps the matching picture. No reading required — comprehension first, production later.

Research basis: Comprehension- and movement-based response along Total Physical Response principles.

#22 Mouth Shapes learn · teacher window

See how the sound is made — then produce it. Visual guides show lip and tongue positions for English sounds; learners imitate and record. Seeing the articulation simplifies sounds that don't exist in the home language.

Research basis: Articulatory awareness — knowing how sounds are physically produced — aids pronunciation.

#23 Stress Tap learn · teacher window

Tap the pulse of the word. Learners listen to words and tap the rhythm, physically marking the stressed syllable. Feeling stress in the body turns an abstract feature into a tangible one for beginners.

Research basis: Metrical stress patterns are the foundation of English rhythm and can be trained motorically.

#24 Sound Match learn · teacher window

Which words start with the same sound? Young learners match pictures and words that share an opening sound. The game builds the ear for sounds before letters even enter the picture.

Research basis: Phonemic awareness — hearing the sounds inside words — strongly predicts reading success (Adams).

#25 Word Echo learn · teacher window

Hear it, say it back, hit the mark. Learners hear a word and immediately repeat it into the microphone; the AI checks how close the echo is. Tight hear-repeat loops build the sound-motor link for new vocabulary.

Research basis: Immediate vocal repetition engages the phonological loop of working memory.

#26 Intonation Mimic learn · teacher window

Copy the melody, not just the words. Learners hear short phrases with strong intonation contours and mimic the melody as closely as possible. Early prosody practice prevents flat "robotic English" later.

Research basis: Intonation contours are systematic and learnable; early mimicry builds accuracy.
