Every question plays the target word out loud (American accent, normal speed) before you match it to its IPA transcription. Listen first, then compare the vowel and consonant sounds against the options. Reading IPA gets far easier once you can hear what it represents.
Listen to each word, then match it to its IPA transcription.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to know the IPA before I start?
- No. Every question plays the word out loud first, so you can start by ear and pick up the symbols as you go. The levels build from common vowels to full transcriptions.
- What accent is the audio in?
- All IPA quiz audio is US English at normal speed, so the transcriptions you match use General American vowels.
- How is the quiz scored?
- Ten questions per level, each with a 30-second timer and instant feedback. Score at least 6 out of 10 to unlock the next level.
