Pronunciation Quiz
This web application was designed to help my ESL students get practice recognizing the differences between distinct phonemes in English that are tricky for non-native speakers to hear. Students can select a group of sounds they want to practice, and then several audio quizzes will show how well they can distinguish those sounds.

Dedicated to requesting, creating and trading solutions to coding conundrums, and built on Holochain. Members of the Code Penguin community contribute to our closed economy by exchanging "Pebbles", so named for penguins' habit of giving each other pebbles as gifts.
