Beat of the Word · learn words

Hear where the word lands.

Listen to an English word, then tap the syllable carrying its beat, or count the beats with the same first-count heuristic as the paper page. You can replay the sound or use the written blocks if your browser has no voice.

Your browser’s English voice says the word. No microphone or recording is needed. This game practises where the beat falls; it does not grade your accent.

Choose a level

How far should the beat travel?

Each level has five words. Count the beats uses the same first-count heuristic as the paper page; it is not a pronunciation dictionary. The browser voice is a prompt, not a microphone test.

About the voice. Your browser’s English voice says the word. No microphone or recording is needed. Speech is unavailable here, so the written syllable quiz is ready instead.
