You can now practice your pronunciation in the Word Bank.
The Pronunciation Practice is an excellent way for you to improve your speaking and vocabulary skills. With this tool, you will learn how to speak more confidently using different words and expand your vocabulary.
Take a look at a few instructions below and get it started now:
Go to the Word Bank section in the Practice section and click on Pronunciation Practice.
Before you begin, make sure you are in a quiet place. Test your microphone and speakers to ensure they are working correctly.
To hear the word spoken in the native language, click next to the word or phrase.
Next, click on to record your voice.
Click on again to stop the recording.
To see your improvements faster, try practicing this tool up to two or three times a week.
Practice Limits
You can record your voice up to 500 times every 30 days.
Why is there a limit? Most learners use this tool about 240 times a month. A limit of 500 recordings gives you plenty of practice while keeping the tool fast and available for everyone.
How does it work?
Your 30 days start the first time you click the record button.
Every time you press record, it counts as 1 practice.
If you reach 500 recordings, you will see a message asking you to wait until your period resets.
Your 30-day count resets automatically. A new 30-day period only starts the next time you press record.
The Speaking Score on the Performance page also takes into consideration all you do in your pronunciation practice and populates your skill based on it.
