Master ED Pronunciation

Learn all three pronunciations of the English "-ed" past-tense ending with real American audio, speech-recognition feedback, and quick games — from John, the teacher behind the YouTube channel "Everything English with John."

Most ESL and EFL learners are never taught that -ed has three different sounds. This app fixes that, verb by verb, sound by sound.

THE 3 SOUNDS
• /ɪd/ — wanted, needed, started (adds a syllable)
• /t/ — washed, kissed, walked (just air, no voice)
• /d/ — called, played, listened (a soft buzz)

WHAT'S INSIDE
• 150 of the most useful -ed verbs, organized by sound
• Real recorded American-English audio for every verb and every example sentence — normal and slow speed
• Speak It: say the verb into your microphone and get instant feedback with speech recognition
• Choose the Right Sound and Listen & Choose — fast, Kahoot-style buzzer games
• Sentence practice, spelling practice, and linking practice (like "wanted it")
• A guided, interactive onboarding
• Daily streak with a goal you set, plus an optional reminder notification
• Progress tracking that shows exactly which verbs you know and which need work

IRREGULAR VERBS BONUS
180 irregular verbs (go, went, gone and more) with flashcards, spelling tests, fill-in-the-blank exercises, and a "similar verbs" toggle that groups verbs by pattern. Plus an Irregular Verb of the Day.

LEARN IN YOUR LANGUAGE
The interface is translated into 51 languages, including Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Russian, Turkish, Vietnamese, and Indonesian. Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and Urdu display in full right-to-left layout. Light and dark mode included.

FREE WITH ADS, NO SIGN-UP
No account needed — your progress is saved on your device. The app is free with a small banner ad. If you'd rather not see it, a one-time in-app purchase (Remove Ads) removes it forever. Every lesson, verb, and game is free in both cases — no content is ever locked behind a purchase.

Made in the USA. American English, taught by a real American teacher.

"I built this because '-ed' pronunciation is one of the most common things my students ask about, and one of the easiest to fix once you hear the difference. Ten minutes a day is enough." — John
