Pronunciation Improvement

Please try to check yourselves and learn the places of articulation.

Available for each consonant and vowel is an animated articulatory diagramme, a step-by-step description, and video audio of the sound spoken in context. It is intended for students of phonetics, linguistics and foreign language. There is also an interactive diagramme of articulatory anatomy.


Let’s Have Fun
Listen to the songs and practice with the lyrics provided.  These songs are easy to your ears, not too slow and not too fast. Besides your listening and spelling improvement, you can get familiar to the accent of the native speakers and correct pronunciation.
