If you’re using an iOS device, go to Settings > Accessibility > Speech. Once here, turn on the Speak Selection feature, then tap Voices.
Our application doesn’t work with pre-made recordings but uses your device’s TTS (text-to-speech) system. This means that the sound quality depends on the TTS engine and voices installed on your device. See the answer to the previous question to learn how to install new voices.

Occasionally, some words have multiple forms of spellings. These words are marked with an asterisk. For example: yogurt; yoghurt*.

The problem might be that you’re only practicing in your head. When learning new vocabulary, it’s very important to say words out loud, again and again.
