English Pronunciation Tutor Status

Finally, in the “Speech Recognition” exercise, you can test your progress in real pronunciation by choosing and saying a word from the “word wheel. ” If the word is recognized correctly, you will know you have achieved clarity and comprehensibility!  This “minimal pairs”-type exercise develops phonetic awareness needed for accurate pronunciation of vowel and consonant sounds.  In the “Contrasts” exercise, you will listen to and repeat pairs of words with similar sounds that are often trouble spots for many students.  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.  The super-intuitive exercise design makes this task easy, fun and incredibly effective.  This exercise will push you to make the necessary changes to improve your articulation and clarity. EASY, BEAUTIFUL and FUN!  This exercise gives you instant feedback on whether you can hear the sounds of American English accurately.  We are committed to creating the most enjoyable, interactive and effective pronunciation app on the market.  For each of the 10 units, the Pronunciation Tutor guides you through an interactive introduction to the target pronunciation topic.  In the “Listening Quiz” exercise, you are quizzed on the contrasts from the previous exercise.  You can then compare your pronunciation with the model.  You hear a word or a sentence and then must identify which word/sentence you heard.  If not, you can adjust your pronunciation and try again.  It is an amazingly complete yet easy to follow program.  We have put tremendous effort into the design and intuitiveness of EnglishPronunciationTutor.
