One of the 40 sounds Nunzio listens for. When you read a sentence aloud, the app scores every single sound in it on your phone — this page is what he knows about this one: what tends to come out in its place, and what to do about it.
Begin with a complete stop — tongue tip against the ridge — then release into the sh friction.

People often say “ch” when a word actually wants “th” as in think, “j” as in jump — each of those pages shows the way back.
Reading about a sound is one thing. Hearing which ones you miss is another.
Nunzio records you reading a sentence, scores every sound in it on your phone — nothing is uploaded — and tells you the one thing worth fixing. Nunzio — Accent Coach is coming to the App Store and Google Play.
