If you want to speak English, you need this APP!

Helpful

DaniloRibeiro · 13 years ago · v1.3

It really helped me to study for my phonetics test... You learn through nice ways: learning and playing. I recommend this app

Too few examples! Nice exercises

uLinx · 14 years ago · v1.3

The app is fine. There are many different exercises, most of them are really nice. The problem is that only a bunch of very simple words can be trained. It would be nice to have more words or even a connection to a pronounciation dictionary in order to have all possible entries.

Some phonetic symbols are missing

MelBeer · 14 years ago · v1.3

Great idea and nice activities but there arent enough phonetic symbols. E.g. /i/ isnt there at all.

childs play

andrewguerrier · 14 years ago · v1.3

this is a children app. completly useless if your seriously trying to learn IPA

Оно таки работает)))

Stepainaev · 12 years ago · v1.3

Я специально пишу об этом приложении новый пост, так как теперь оно у меня работает! Начну с самого начала: я скачала приложение и когда попыталась запустить его с телефона, оно не открывалось, как выяснилось позже, виной тому был глюк телефона. Я удалила приложение из телефона, а потом снова его установила и оно заработало!!! Рекомендую всем, кто только начал изучать английский язык, а также тем, кто так и не понял зачем нужны эти закорючки в квадратных скобках. Также хочу выразить большую благодарность Adrian Illingworth, этот человек работает в CEО, Cambridge English Online Ltd. Это он мне помог, оперативно решить мою проблему)))

Doesnt work!!

Sergio Riggi · 12 years ago · v1.3

A phonetic app that dont play the sound is rubbish!!!
