HOW IT WORKS

One technique and six activities in every dialogue

1

Accent technique

A short explanation and tips for one sound or rhythm pattern, with key words to hear and repeat.

2

Content words

Tap the words that carry the message. Function words stay short and soft.

3

Main stress

Find the one strong word in each thought group.

4

Sound order

Build words with sounds, not letters, using IPA.

5

Read and pronounce

Read the sentences out loud. Voice recognition checks every word.

6

Click & Say

Answer out loud with the word that has the target sound.

7

The dialogue

Listen with the marks, then shadow the conversation: intonation and linking.
