1. Start with short, focused sessions
Instead of studying for an hour once a week, aim for 10–15 minutes a day. Open the AI Pronunciation Trainer, pick your target language, and run one or two practice batches. Daily contact is what trains your ear and mouth.
2. Listen like a musician, not a reader
When the model audio plays, don’t just glance at the text. Listen for melody, rhythm, and stress: which syllables are longer, which syllables are louder, and where the voice goes up or down.
If you’re not sure, replay the audio and tap the phrase out with your fingers. Feel the beat before you speak.
3. Record in “slow motion” first
If a phrase feels hard, your first goal isn’t speed — it’s accuracy. Use the Words or Sentences mode and:
- Pause a moment after the model audio finishes.
- Say the phrase slightly slower, but with the same melody.
- Focus on one or two problem sounds per attempt.
4. Use the score as a coach, not a judge
The AI score is feedback, not a grade on your identity. Instead of thinking “bad pronunciation,” ask:
- Which part of the word didn’t match?
- Was I too fast, too quiet, or mumbling at the end?
- Did I copy the intonation or just the letters?
When your score improves on a specific phrase, celebrate it — that’s your brain rewiring.
5. Target your “trouble sounds”
Every language has sounds that are new to you. Use the trainer to hunt for words that contain those sounds and repeat them in Words mode. Pay special attention to:
- Final consonants (e.g., German -t, -ch, or -en endings).
- Vowel length (short vs. long vowels that change meaning).
- Consonant clusters that are rare in your native language.
6. Link this practice to real sentences
Once a sound is easier in isolation, move it into short phrases. Use Sentences mode and look for phrases that contain your target sounds. You’ll feel the transition from “robotic correct sound” to “natural connected speech.”
7. Repeat “mastered” phrases as a warm-up
When the trainer marks phrases as mastered, don’t forget them. At the start of each session:
- Review 3–5 mastered items.
- Say them at normal speed, as if you were talking to a friend.
- Then move on to new or difficult phrases.
This keeps your wins fresh and reminds your mouth what “good pronunciation” feels like.
8. Combine AI with real conversations
AI is a great pronunciation mirror, but humans are the real test. Use the trainer to prepare, then:
- Use those same phrases in chats, lessons, or voice messages.
- Notice which ones feel easy now — that’s progress.
- Bring any “stumbling” phrases back into the trainer for repair work.
