“f” as in fun

Written /f/ in the phonetic alphabet — but you will never need that in the app.

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.

Where it lives in real words

fat fed fit fix fly for

In the app, this sound is put under pressure in Everyday English — whole sentences built so it cannot hide.

Compared head to head

The classic mix-ups involving this sound, one page per pair: fun vs think, fun vs van.

It also likes to turn up uninvited

People often say “f” when a word actually wants “th” as in think, “v” as in van — 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.
