Sounds and Audio 

Practice on the go, practice in your car, practice when you don't have an Internet connection! We have compiled lists of words representing each sound in English and recorded a native speaker reading them in order. Now you can take the sound lists you want to practice with you on your MP3 player. There is one file for each sound in the beginning, middle, or end of the word. Every word is spoken with time to allow you to repeat. Also, get printable PDF files for each sound so you can follow along. This is the best way to learn when two words are spelled differently but sound the same. If you choose to burn these 4 1/2 hours of audio practice to CD, it will take 4 CDs! A working and stable Internet connection is required to download these large files, and Acrobat Reader and an MP3 player or MP3 playing software are necessary to view and hear the files.

Sample: long a

Sample PDF: Long A

Sample MP3s Long A sound Beginning Middle End

New! We now have an option for anyone who wants to download our sound files, but doesn't need all 43 of them. If you only want to practice one or a few sound, try our a la carte sound practice list purchase. Each sounds is only $2! See this page for the complete list of available sounds.

Are you on a low bandwidth connection? Try our new option to buy the entire complete list of sound file MP3 and PDFs for the same great price, but downloadable as individual files instead of one very large file. Select the "Sound list MP3s and PDFs (individual files)" option on your right. This allows you to purchase all the sounds at the same time, but download them in smaller chunks to avoid connection problems.

You can purchase the Sound Lists MP3 and PDFs from any country that accepts PayPal payments; no PayPal is account required.

After your payment has been received, you will immediately receive an email with a link to the download website.
