Learn English pronunciation: sounds, contrasts and practice

A suggested path

1. Read the symbols. Start with a short guide to IPA, so that dictionaries and the lessons below make sense.
2. Find your difficult sounds. Open the chart, listen to the reference words and pick two or three sounds to work on first.
3. Compare similar sounds. Practice pairs of words that differ by one sound, first by listening and then aloud.
4. Check what you notice. Use a quiz to find what to practice next. A score guides your practice; it does not certify your speech.
