Great for teaching, testing or practice, at home or in the classroom. You can type, teach, practise, copy, save and email your spellings and hear the phonemes spoken as you type… all in high-quality native English speaker audio.

***** Phonetics Mix & Test  -  Spin to spell the sounds you hear

Learn, teach and test the sounds of English with our interactive slide and sound quiz.  You can test yourself with the 120 words (with high-quality, native English speaker audio), spell them phoneme-by-phoneme, and see the real spellings too.  

No matter which country you are from, or what your or your students’ first language is, you can use this comprehensive apptivity to help you correct English pronunciation problems and develop English fluency and speaking confidence. We’ve added an example of an initial, medial and final position for as many of the 44 phonemes as possible, to help you perfect the pronunciation of each sound.
The 120 words, to help improve English pronunciation and perfect the sounds of English, are in sets of two to seven phonemic sounds per word. We’ve included some harder words too, but even though you or your students may not know the meaning, how to pronounce them correctly, or write them phonetically, using this mixer can help with the pronunciation of unfamiliar words and in turn build confidence when teaching or learning new vocabulary.
Now, if you see phonetic spellings in the dictionary, you can use this mixer to recreate them and hear how they sound by clicking on the symbols that you have selected. Remember, it won’t always sound exactly like the word due to each phoneme being pronounced separately, but can give you a very good idea.

Click a phonemic symbol to hear one of the sounds of English. All sounds recorded in high-quality native speaker audio to help you perfect your English pronunciation. Now with swipe-able keyboard to make switching between different sets of phonemes even quicker.
