Description
I’m Phoneticus, the ideal English phonemic chart for use with Apple products. I help you learn English vocabulary, where the spelling of words doesn’t always clearly reflect how they’re pronounced.
With me, you’ll learn to read phonetics and familiarise yourself with the different types of sounds that can make up a word.
My enjoyable, efficient design makes it simple to learn how to classify consonants by place of articulation and become accustomed to British and American English vowels.
My purpose is to elevate your language skills while saving you time and effort. Let me help you to practice reading and writing English words phonetically!
