Funetics

I'm excited to launch funetics: a free resource for phonetics & pronunciation. If you're a language learner or teacher, this is for you! The site will grow over the years to encompass more languages and more sounds. Check it out now at funetics.com/

Hi @alexisconran, we spoke on Times radio about accents a few weeks ago. I’ve just created a resource for learning Greek χ and γ. Do pass it on to anyone who might be interested! funetics.com/topic/54

Learn how the Greek letters χ and γ are pronounced differently depending on the following sound: funetics.com/topic/54

I've published a new resource on my funetics site about the "L" sounds in Albanian. Check it out here: funetics.com/topic/yr

Did you know that some varieties of Austrian German have retroflex consonants? If you're a German learner, this is a chance to improve your listening skills and accent awareness! Check out the resource here: funetics.com/topic/4p

Years after I started learning Standard Italian I found out there were 7 vowels rather than 5... Out of this frustration, "funetics" was born and now I have a page about Italian vowels! Check it out here: funetics.com/topic/Ka

I'd never heard someone use a voiced aspirated consonant in real life until I was in Prague for the phonetics conference #icphs2023. Rather than at the conference, it was actually at the hotel reception! The receptionist taught me "thank you" in Hindi: धन्यवाद [d̪ʱənjəʋɑːd̪].

I've just added some recordings for Spanish R. Listen here: funetics.com/topic/x9

Learn how to pronounce double consonants in languages like Italian. Che bello! Go to funetics.com -> Explore -> Double Consonants.

And that’s a wrap for #VSCEP2023 @UCLSCEP
