Improve Your English with ELSA’s New Pronunciation Game!
Have you ever mumbled your way through a word because you didn’t know how to say it? Well, mumble no more! ELSA is here to help!
ELSA (English Learning Speaking Assistant) is one of the world’s most advanced English pronunciation apps. Since our launch in 2016, we’ve helped over 7 million people speak American English naturally. In continuing our mission of helping everyone speak clearly and be heard, we’ve updated our Pronunciation Game to be better than ever!
Starting today, you can practice your English with a brand new interface that’s designed to help you improve significantly. We’ve added videos that show how to move your tongue and mouth, advanced feedback comparing errors with the correct sounds, and much more. Here’s a quick tour of our new game!
The /r/ sound is one of the hardest English sounds to master. To help you perfect a difficult word like “party,” we’ve provided audio samples of a native speaker saying the word at regular speed and slowed down.
Prefer to learn with IPA? You got it! Down below is the “Lookup” section where you can quickly reference the word’s IPA transcription. As an added bonus to help your practice, you’ll also see the English definition and a sample sentence, all available by just swiping to the right!
After you say a word, you’ll get immediate feedback from our award-winning, AI-powered speech recognition technology.
Within seconds, you’ll be able to: (1) compare your voice to a native speaker, (2) receive instruction on how to correct yourself, (3) get feedback on other sounds through the Advanced Feedback feature, and (4) watch a video that shows you visually how to produce those tricky sounds. We believe that over time, you can master all the sounds of English. The secret to success is never giving up and practicing with meaningful feedback!
Ready to join millions of English speakers around the world? When you open the app, take the assessment test to find your English pronunciation level. When you’re done, you’ll get a learning plan that’s customized just for you. Follow your learning plan and drill specific sounds to improve quickly or browse our large collection of topics and practice words and conversations by theme.
ELSA is free for everyone and available for download on the AppStore and on Google Play.
Happy learning!
