1. With LearnEnglish Sounds Right installed on your class set of devices, or your students’ own devices, you can teach the individual sounds and symbols easily. * The pure vowels are arranged the same way as in the IPA chart: according to mouth shape (left to right, lips wide / round – top to bottom, jaw closed / open). * The diphthongs are grouped in rows according to their second sound. * The consonants are arranged from left (front of mouth) to right (back of mouth).
2. LearnEnglish Sounds Right is the British Council’s FREE pronunciation chart for learners and teachers of English worldwide.
3. Do you have difficulty with the sounds and pronunciation of the English language, or with understanding the symbols of the phonemic alphabet?
4. With LearnEnglish Sounds Right on your phone or tablet you can practise anywhere and anytime.
5. Tap the downward arrow sign and listen to three example words with that sound.
6. Do you use phonemic script in class to help your students with their pronunciation?
7. The top two rows of consonants are paired (top row – unvoiced, second row – voiced).
8. When you tap a plosive consonant, the schwa (ə) appears.
9. This is because the plosives were recorded with a schwa for clarity.
10. Just tap a sound and you will hear it.
11. Please contact us at learnenglish. mobile@britishcouncil. org if you have any comments or ideas for future versions.
1. Thank you so much British Council 🤍 ❤️ 🤍Is it me or is it missing some VERY important & tricky phonemes for lang learners - like the 2 "th" sounds or the "-ng" (as in sing)?! They're on the Desktop version.
2. Thanks in advance!This app is very useful and helpful, but it could be better if they show us the lips 💋 while pronouncing every single sound 🔊, that's why I rate you with only three stars.
3. However, the pronunciation of "p" is voiceless but the app makes it sound like voiced "b" while "b" is supposed to be voiced but it sounds like "p".
4. I hope the developers will sort the sounds out soon - this could have been such a useful app.This app is awesome and very useful for me.
5. Thank you so much.Hi I found this app very useful for my students who would like to improve their pronunciation.
6. Please note: not only is the 'ee' sound in 'sheep' longer than the vowel in 'ship', it's also different; your mouth changes shape.
7. Is it possible to replace or provude option to select? By the way on BBC chanel there's a good series with pronoincing phonetic chart.This app is wonderful.
8. If you're looking for an app that will help you in learning the vowels and consonant sounds, I think you've found the right one.
9. It should also be able to teach you how to pronounce the soundsLove this app!! Recently I have to learn the pronunciation and phonetic symbols for my class.
10. Thanks.I think that the British council should add more things like triphthongs and syllables to it and things to test you on it, like just to extremely go forward in the app to make it more educational.
11. In version 2.0.5 there is a clear difference between the sounds of I and e.
