Phonetics 2

Pronunciation animations from Cambridge

There's a great Flash-based pronunciation resource on the Cambridge ELT site. The four sections cover the following areas:

• Diphthongs - mini movies to practise reading and saying all the diphthongs in English.

• Stress - word stress and sentence stress.

• Intonation.

• Phonemic chart - hear the English phonemes spoken by a male or female voice

I hope you like this site! It is very useful! Have a nice day!

Phonetics 1: Sheep or Ship?

Phonetic focus is a fantastic free resource for learning about phonetics from Cambridge English Online. Using a collection of Flash-based games (the hangman, pelmanisms, puzzles, quizzes, mazes...) you will improve your ability to recognize and produce the various sounds of English and associate them with their phonetic symbols. Click on the image below to see a full-size screenshot.

The BBC Learning English Pronunciation Tips site is another wonderful resource. The site features videos on all the sounds of English as well as Flash-based interactive activities and quizzes. All the videos can be downloaded along with posters giving examples of each sound. You can also listen to three radio programmes from 2005 on the topic of pronunciation. The full script and audio examples are available to download.
