Pronunciation Fun!!


While I was doing my lesson for technology in pronunciation I discovered this great interactive website designed specifically for ESL learners that is not only helpful in pronunciation but its also fun. This website would be perfect for most learners although beginners might find it difficult at first. There are pictures to accompany the words though and that might make it easier for beginners. The website provides many different sets of minimal pairs for the learner to select. After selecting them they only have to scroll the mouse over the picture or the word to hear the computer say the minimal pair. The learner can practice along with the computer and if they have a microphone they can even record their voice saying the minimal pairs and compare with the computer. It's a great fun way to practice pronunciation. I even had fun playing with it!
