About this app
Phoneme is a fast, legible IPA reference and pronunciation trainer built for EFL and ESL teachers — and anyone who wants to understand English sounds.
REFERENCE — ALWAYS FREE
• Complete chart of 38 English phonemes (24 consonants, 14 vowels and diphthongs)
• Tap any IPA symbol to hear it spoken and read the articulation cue
• Keyword examples for every sound (e.g. ə → "bus", ʃ → "shoe")
• Designed around the International Phonetic Alphabet standard
• Works offline — no account, no internet required
The free Reference tab is always accessible. No paywall, no timer, no nudge.
TRAIN — ONE-TIME UNLOCK ($4.99)
Unlock permanent access to all drill modes:
• Minimal-pair drills — contrast similar sounds side by side (ship vs. sheep, bit vs. beat). The classic exercise for ear training.
• Hear-and-choose — listen to a phoneme and tap the correct IPA symbol. Builds auditory discrimination.
• Identify-the-symbol — see the IPA glyph and match it to the spoken keyword. Reinforces symbol literacy.
• Printable IPA charts and minimal-pair contrast handouts for classroom use.
• Session progress tracking — streaks and accuracy history so you can see which sounds need more work.
One payment. No subscription. Yours permanently.
BUILT FOR EFL CLASSROOMS
Phoneme was designed with CELTA and DELTA teachers in mind. Every screen is optimised for quick reference during a lesson — pull up the chart, tap a sound, hand the phone to a student.
PRIVACY
