How a session goes

01 — Listen

Hear the chunk in your accent

Every line is split into 3–4 word chunks. Tap Listen for a native US or UK voice, as many times as you like.

02 — Speak

Record your attempt

One big button. Read the chunk aloud following the respelling, with stressed syllables marked in bold.

03 — Compare

Play yourself back

Hearing your own voice is what fixes an accent. Nothing is uploaded — the clip lives in your browser and is discarded.

Consistency is the whole trick

Accent work is motor practice, not knowledge. Short, daily, out-loud reps of the same sounds retrain your mouth far faster than one long weekend session — which is why the only number we track is your streak.

4 min
A story takes about four minutes, start to finish.
24
Chunks of focused, out-loud repetition per story.
75%
Of learners quit before day 3 — a daily streak puts you ahead of them.
1×/day
Daily reps beat long weekly sessions for muscle memory.

Your streak counts every day you finish a story. Miss two days and it resets — that's the only pressure here.

US vs UK, side by side

The same sentence, two accents. The respelling is what your mouth follows — stressed syllables in caps.
