Lesson 10 – you made it! “Ten” is simple but elegant. You’ve now mastered counting from 1-10 in English!
Achievement Unlocked: You can now count to ten with perfect pronunciation. That’s the foundation for all English numbers!
Lesson 9 is fine! “Nine” features another /aɪ/ diphthong (like “five”) but with a different consonant context.
Nasal Release: The /n/ at the end is a nasal consonant. Air flows through your nose – cool physics!
Lesson 8 is great! “Eight” contains the diphthong /eɪ/ – one of English’s most common vowel glides.
Diphthong /eɪ/: Starts with /e/ (like “eh”) and glides to /ɪ/ (like “ih”). Your mouth moves from mid-open to near-close!

Rhotic vs Non-Rhotic: Americans pronounce the ‘r’ in “four” (/fɔːr/), but many British speakers don’t (/fɔː/). Both are correct!
Lesson 3 is here! “Three” contains one of English’s most challenging sounds for non-native speakers: the voiced dental fricative /ð/. But don’t worry – we’ll master it together!
The /θ/ Challenge: This “th” sound doesn’t exist in most languages! Spanish … Read more...
Welcome to Lesson 2! The word “two” is a pronunciation superstar – it’s got consonant clusters, a diphthong, and a silent letter. Let’s break it down!
Spelling vs Sound: “TWO” has a ‘w’ you DON’T pronounce! English is wonderfully weird. … Read more...
