71 Speaking A-Z
Our Promise to Members
At Britlish, our expert team of English teachers and content creators are dedicated to providing you with fresh and engaging content regularly. Our recent track record shows that we have added 1 new lessons (20 Activities) in the last 7 days and 13 new lessons (260 activities) in the last 30 days. Our promise to Wisdom and Genius Members is to add a minimum of 4 new lessons every month.
It's not easy to teach speaking skills remotely through a website, however good the site is. To really practice your speaking skills, you need someone to speak to who can correct your mistakes as you go. The Activities on this website will go some way to helping you improve your speaking skills by helping you mirror the speech you hear in the lesson. By listening to the speech in the Activities and comparing it to your own speech, you can notice how your pronunciation differs and make adjustments to more accurately match the speech in the Activities. Recording your own speech is also a great way to track your progress and identify areas that need improvement.

Vowel in Ant / æ /
Activate the Vowel in Ant / æ / with this English Pronunciation Activation Pack. In this Pronunciation Activation Pack we will be looking at the ninth of the pure vowels / æ /. We will look at the letter combinations that give the / æ / sound. We will look at lots of words which have the / æ / sound in them. Finally, we will activate your ability to hear and produce the / æ / sound correctly. Letter Combinations for / æ / - The short vowel sound / æ / has these letter combinations: A in 99% of cases and rarely with AI, EI, and I. There are three other vowel sounds that cause confusion with the / æ / sound.
Vowel in Art / ɑː /
Activate the Vowel in Art / ɑː / with this English Pronunciation Activation Pack. In this Pronunciation Activation Pack we will be looking at the eleventh of the pure vowels / ɑː /. We will look at the letter combinations that give the / ɑː / sound. We will look at lots of words which have the / ɑː / sound in them. Finally, we will activate your ability to hear and produce the / ɑː / sound correctly. Letter Combinations for / ɑː / This long vowel sound has these letter combinations: AR, EAR, ER, A, AL, AU, and OIR. There are two other vowel sounds that cause confusion with the / ɑː / sound. We already looked at the following minimal pairs: / ɑː / vs / æ / – Vowel in Ant – Pack 9 / ɑː / vs / ʌ / – Vowel in Sun – Pack 10 I won’t be repeating these minimal pairs in this Pronunciation Activation Pack. Instead, we’ll look at the important Trap-Bath Split. I will explain all about the Trap-Bath split in the Pronunciation Activator and show you why it is important in RP or BBC English.
Vowel in Bear / eə /

We will look at the letter combinations that give the / eə / sound. We will look at lots of words which have the / eə / sound in them.

Letter Combinations for / eə / - This gliding vowel sound has these letter combinations: AIR, ARE, A, AR, AE and EAR and rarely EIR, ERE, AYOR, AYER, and ER. This can be a huge problem for students as words like ear and bear, and are and rare, have the same letter combinations but completely different sounds. The only other vowel sound that can cause confusion with the / eə / sound is the / ɪə / sound, and I covered this in Pronunciation Activation Pack 13 – The Vowel in Ear. In this Pronunciation Activation Pack I’ll look at words which have the same letter combinations as give us the / eə / sound but which have different pronunciations.
