This would allow them to talk in English and get instant feedback.

Of course, for most learners, that won’t be the case. Perhaps you talk online with English speakers whenever you can, but what about the rest of the time.

That’s where Ringo Lingo can help you to assess your own pronunciation.

We’ve added a feature that lets you listen to a word or verb conjugation and then record yourself repeating the word or phrase.

You can listen to the original and your attempt to assess how accurate your pronunciation was.

Choose the accent

As with other features on Ringo Lingo, you can choose the accent that you want to listen to and emulate.

Additionally, we visualize the original speech and your copy by displaying a waveform of both. You may find this helpful as another way to assess how closely your pronunciation matches.

How to use our pronunciation tool

You will find the pronunciation tool in a few places on the Ringo Lingo website. It works much the same wherever you use it.

The original word or phrase is displayed at the top of the pronunciation tool. The name of your selected speaker is displayed at the bottom of the top box. Click the play button to hear the word or phrase spoken.

Click the record button in the bottom box and speak into the microphone to record your voice. The tool will only record for the same time the original audio lasted and will then load your recording.

You can now click the play button and compare your pronunciation to the original.

If you want to try again, click the Reset button and you can record yourself speaking again.

You’ll find the pronunciation tool on the verb conjugation and individual words pages. You’ll also see a button to open the pronunciation tool from each flashcard exercise. This will open a new page with all the words from the flashcards loaded. Just click your way through the list to practice each word.

You can save a copy on multiple devices to ensure you always have this invaluable English language learning tool.

It will work wherever you are with no internet connection required.

Please note, however, that there are some important points that you need to remember. I’ll cover those and how to use the Magic PDF below.

Firstly, though, if you haven’t already got a copy of Ringo Lingo’s Magic PDF Irregular Verb Conjugator, you can get a copy here.

What apps can you use with the Magic PDF?

This is very important.

Not all PDF reader apps offer the same features. The Magic PDF is a dynamic PDF, meaning that the information it displays changes depending on the verb that you select. Many free PDF reader apps do not work with dynamic PDFs.

It will work in the following apps.

Mobile

On a mobile device running Android or iOS/iPadOS, I recommend that you use PDF Reader & Annotator by Xodo. You can visit the Xodo website by clicking here or click the links below to open the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.

• Get PDF Reader & Annotator by Xodo for Android
• Get PDF Reader & Annotator by Xodo for iOS/iPadOS

If you use other PDF reader apps, you may have issues with the PDF not working correctly or at all.

Desktops computers and laptops

On a laptop or desktop computer, you have a couple of options. If you have Adobe Reader installed, you can use that.

Alternatively, most modern web browsers, such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox will handle the Magic PDF with no problems.

To open the PDF in a browser, right click the PDF and there should be an option like Open with. Click that and you should then be able to select your web browser.

Note, you can’t use a web browser on a mobile device to open and use the Magic PDF.

How to use the Magic PDF

Using Ringo Lingo’s Magic PDF Irregular Verb Conjugator is super simple.

Open your free Magic PDF, click or tap the verb selector and choose the verb you want to conjugate.

Now just click the Conjugate button to load your selected verb conjugation. If necessary, be sure to scroll down to see all the results.

That’s all there is to it.

Any improvements or ideas?

If you think we’ve missed an important irregular verb, please let us know. I don’t promise to add every suggestion though, as there are many archaic verbs that just aren’t used now in modern English. Adding these would make the PDF harder to use and a larger file for downloading and storing.

If you’ve got an idea for a tool that you think would be useful for English language learners, again, please send a message to describe it to us. Maybe we’ll be able to create it.
