Tongue twisters are a great way to practice and improve pronunciation and fluency. They can also help to improve accents by using alliteration, which is the repetition of one sound.

Say them as quickly as you can. If you can master them, you will be a much more confident speaker.

Hi! Got an English text and want to see how to pronounce it? This online converter of English text to IPA phonetic transcription will translate your English text into its phonetic transcription using the International Phonetic Alphabet. Paste or type your English text in the text field above and click "Show transcription" button (or use [Ctrl+Enter] shortcut from the text input area).

Features:

Choose between British and American* pronunciation. When British option is selected the [r] sound at the end of the word is only voiced if followed by a vowel, which follows British phonetic convention.

The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) symbols used.

The structure of the text and sentences in it (line breaks, punctuation marks, etc.) is preserved in phonetic transcription output making it easier to read.

An option to vary pronunciation depending on whether words are in stressed or weak position in the sentence, as in connected speech (checkbox "Show weak forms"). Weak forms are italicized in the output.

Words in CAPS are interpreted as acronyms if the word is not found in the database. Acronym transcriptions will be shown with hyphens between letters.

In addition to commonly used vocabulary the database contains a very substantial amount of place names (including names of countries, their capitals, US states, UK counties), nationalities and popular names.

You can output the text and its phonetic transcription along each other side-by-side or line-by-line to make back-reference to the original text easier. Just tick the appropriate checkbox in the input form.

Where a word has a number of different pronunciations (highlighted in blue in the output) you can select the one that agrees with the context by clicking on it. To see a popup with a list of possible pronunciations move your mouse cursor over the word.
Note that different pronunciations of one word may have different meanings or may represent variations in pronunciation with the same meaning. If unsure which pronunciation is relevant in your particular case, consult a dictionary.

The dictionary database is regularly amended with most popular missing words (shown in red in the output).

The text can be read out loud in browsers with speech synthesis support (Safari, Chrome).

*) American transcriptions are based on the open Carnegie Mellon University Pronouncing Dictionary.

We encourage students of linguistics/phonetics to do their own work during their assignments and remind them that submitting transcriptions produced by this website for academic credit is a breach of academic integrity.

Phrasal verbs are mainly used in spoken English and informal texts. (The more formal a conversation or text, the less phrasal verbs are found.)

Phrasal verbs consist of a verb plus a particle ( preposition, adverb). The particle can change the meaning of the verb completely, e.g.:

look up - consult a reference book (look a word up in a dictionary)

look for - seek (look for her ring)

look forward - anticipate with pleasure (look forward to meeting someone)

There are no rules that might explain how phrasal verbs are formed correctly - all you can do is look them up in a good dictionary and study their meanings. In our lists, you will find some frequently used phrasal verbs and their meanings.

Frequently Used Phrasal Verbs with:

Position of the Particle

The particle is placed either after the verb or after the object.

If the object is a pronoun, however, the particle has to be placed after the pronoun (object).

A proverb is a short, pithy saying that expresses a traditionally held truth or piece of advice, based on common sense or experience.

This graphic shows the words that are used in English proverbs, with the size of each word indicating how often it occurs.

Although it is difficult to draw a clear line, "an 'idiom' can not be defined as a synonym for aphorism. It is more than that. To be an idiom, a word or phrase must be distinctive to a specific language and have a meaning that is not obvious from the common meaning of the words employed. For example: "raining cats and dogs", "hangover", "jonesing" [drug withdrawal symptoms]. "You're pulling my leg" is an English idiom for "teasing", while "You're winding my clock" is an English translation of a German idiom that means the same thing. Note that in both cases, the meaning is transferred by the culture, not the words themselves." [Author:Robert Hard]

Idioms are used in all areas of the English language, but can be considered especially important when it comes to learning English through the act of speaking.

Meaning: Wishing someone good luck

Origin: In the theatre, if your performance was liked the crowd, they might ask for an 'encore,' which means a curtain call. The stick that is used to raise and lower the curtain was called a leg, so 'break a leg,' means to get so many curtain calls that the leg breaks in two. It's worth noting that wishing 'good luck' in the theatre is considered bad luck, so an alternative had to be found

Meaning: Getting the smallest share or worst position

Graveyard Shift

Meaning: Working the night-shift, working at night

Origin: This has a very spooky meaning and comes from the fact that in old England people were sometimes buried alive by mistake (think unconscious). Years later the graves were moved to a new location and signs of attempted escape such as finger scrapes inside the coffin were discovered. In order to make sure this never happened again, an employee was used to stay in the graveyard at night and listen for any sounds, hence the working the night-shift.

Roisin Hahesy is an Irish born children book illustrator, currently living in Brazil. After moving there, she also took up teaching the English language to locals and soon faced an interesting problem - translating the common English sayings and funny idioms, staying true to their meaning and wordplay.

Just to be clear, an idiom is an expression made up from words in such a way, that understanding them literally has no particular meaning. We understand what they mean, because of their popular use. Most common examples of idioms would probably be 'over the moon' or 'see the light' just to name a few.

Roisin has illustrated a couple of well known English expressions trying to reveal their meanings or just to show how funny it would look if we'd take them literally. Scroll down to see our pick of funny English idioms illustrated below!

Attention Safari Users: You need to manually turn on Adobe Flash to play many of the games. Please follow the instructions on this page to enable Flash: https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/enabling-flash-player-safari.html

Still not working? Try one of the items below.

What's going on? Why can't I play this game?

Let's take a minute to find out.

I'm on a mobile device, can I play this game?

This game uses Adobe Flash and isn't available to play on many mobile devices. If you're on a mobile device, see below for other games and quizzes that you can play.

I'm on a laptop or desktop computer but still can't play. Please help!

Even if you have Adobe Flash installed, it may not be properly enabled (yes, even if you just played this game yesterday...it's weird). Please open the following link and go through the instructions to ensure that everything is set up properly: https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html.

This is crazy. I have Adobe Flash enabled according to the site above and I still can't play your games. Every other site works fine except yours. What's going on?!

Yes, even if you have Adobe Flash enabled properly in your browser, you may not have it enabled for this specific page. Yes, we know, it's a pain. Each browser has a different set of instructions for whitelisting pages, so we can't include them here, but you can find information by searching for "how to control flash for specific websites" in your favorite internet web search.

Why do you use Flash?

Tell us about it. These Flash games aren't developed directly by Merriam-Webster so we haven't been able to update them. We are looking to replace these games with HTML5 versions as soon as we can.

Ok, fine, I can't use flash, but I still want to play a game!

Don't worry-we have you covered. Many of our games work fine without you changing a single thing. Try Play Four, Daily Jumble, or Word Roundup.

I only have a couple minutes.

You've come to the right place. Try one of our 2-minute quizzes, such as How Strong is Your Vocabulary or Name that Thing. And then try ten more :)

I was really looking forward to solving a crossword puzzle.

Universal Daily Crossword is what you need.
