Tap any of 49 sounds (vowels, diphthongs, triphthongs, consonants) to hear it, practice with example words, and check your own pronunciation with the microphone. It also covers tricky spelling patterns (ea, ough, augh, eigh), common exceptions, an interactive alphabet with audio, and 42 tongue twisters with voice practice. Built for both English and Russian speakers — all explanations are bilingual.

Could you build this?
Partial The interactive phoneme UI and audio playback are easy, but accurate automated pronunciation assessment via the browser microphone requires specialized speech evaluation models.
What it would actually take: The front end can use Web Audio API, but real pronunciation scoring requires integrating automated speech recognition (ASR) capable of phoneme-level alignment (such as wav2vec 2.0 or Kaldi-based models running via WebAssembly or a Python backend). Calculating accurate Goodness of Pronunciation (GOP) scores at the phoneme level is significantly harder than standard transcript generation.
