Learn English: Pronunciation

Sheep or ship? Think or sink? Best or vest? If those pairs sound the same to you, that is not a vocabulary problem — it is a listening problem, and it is the one thing most English apps never train. This one starts there. HEAR THE DIFFERENCE • 14 sound contrasts, 70 minimal pairs — the sounds that actually change meaning • Sheep/Ship, Light/Right, Think/Sink, Best/Vest, Cat/Cut, Pear/Bear, Sea/She, Chair/Share, Fan/Van, Pen/Pan, Thin/Thing, Price/Prize, Jet/Yet, Pool/Pull • Four dedicated pronunciation lessons: TH sounds, R and L, long and short vowels, and S / SH / CH • Hear a word, choose which one you heard. It is harder than it looks, and it is exactly the skill that makes fast speech understandable EVERY WORD SHOWS ITS SOUND • IPA phonetic notation on all 361 words • A plain sound-it-out hint, like AP-uhl for "apple" — for when IPA is not yet familiar • A real example sentence you can hear • Tap anything to hear it again, as many times as you like 26 VOCABULARY LESSONS, 361 WORDS Alphabet, Numbers, Colors, Animals, Food & Drink, Family, Body, Days & Months, Time & Weather, Common Phrases, Jobs, Clothes, House & Home, Action Verbs, Feelings, Places Around Town, Transportation, Fruits & Vegetables, School & Study, Nature, Sports & Hobbies, Opposites — plus the four pronunciation lessons. 30 GRAMMAR TOPICS A short rule, seven real examples, and fill-in-the-blank practice for each one. Articles through to second conditionals and relative clauses — 210 examples and 104 drills. Answer by tapping a choice or by typing it, whichever you find harder. PRACTICE THAT IS ACTUALLY PRACTICE • Listening quiz — hear a word, pick it from four • Grammar drills — tap or type, across every topic • Minimal pairs — the ear training, mixed or by contrast • Save any word to Favorites and come back to it HOW THE AUDIO WORKS, HONESTLY Every word and sentence is spoken by the built-in iOS speech voice, not by a recording. That is a deliberate trade: it is why the app is 100% offline with nothing to download, why you can slow the speech right down when a word is hard, and why you can switch between American, British, Australian and Indian English voices in Settings. FREE, AND ACTUALLY FREE • No ads, no accounts, no sign-up, no subscription, nothing locked • No tracking and no analytics of any kind • No permissions requested — not the microphone, not notifications, nothing • Works completely offline, on a plane or with no signal • iPhone and iPad Built for adult learners who want to understand real English, not collect points.
