Description
LearnEnglish Sounds Right is the British Council’s FREE pronunciation chart for learners and teachers of English worldwide.
LEARNERS OF ENGLISH Do you have difficulty with the sounds and pronunciation of the English language, or with understanding the symbols of the phonemic alphabet? With LearnEnglish Sounds Right on your phone or tablet you can practise anywhere and anytime. Just tap a sound and you will hear it. Tap the downward arrow sign and listen to three example words with that sound.
TEACHERS OF ENGLISH Do you use phonemic script in class to help your students with their pronunciation? With LearnEnglish Sounds Right installed on your class set of devices, or your students’ own devices, you can teach the individual sounds and symbols easily.
* The pure vowels are arranged the same way as in the IPA chart: according to mouth shape (left to right, lips wide / round – top to bottom, jaw closed / open).
* The diphthongs are grouped in rows according to their second sound.
* The consonants are arranged from left (front of mouth) to right (back of mouth). The top two rows of consonants are paired (top row – unvoiced, second row – voiced). When you tap a plosive consonant, the schwa (ə) appears. This is because the plosives were recorded with a schwa for clarity.
We hope you enjoy using this chart!

I want to hear word pronunciation constantly provide by the app
★★★★★Muhammad Bilal· Jul 28, 2024
This app has been quite beneficial for me to learning British phonetics. It has enabled me to become an intelligible speaker to Natives and a proficient listener at the same time. Without this app one cannot claim of being proficient in speaking and listening modules. I recommend it to all learners of English.
★★★★★Atinuke Abiodun· Jan 2, 2025
I recommend this app over and over again to my students who wish to learn oral sounds. It's the perfect learning guide that you need.
★★★★☆FæīXäÑ· Jun 16, 2026
This app is too good, but you should more examples in a 1 sound or 1 paragraph
★★☆☆☆Ian Anson· Mar 12, 2026
Vowel sounds are too prolonged to be useful. There are much better IPA apps out there. Also, a female voice alternative would be helpful.
★★☆☆☆Eng. Anas Zarbah· Mar 7, 2024
With me the vowels 17 sound and 18 sounds constant
★☆☆☆☆Al Mursalin Samrat· Dec 2, 2022
I am disappointed. Some vowel and consonant phonemes are missing from the chart. This is unexpected from the British Council.
