About this test
About the English Consonant Sounds Pronunciation Test (A2 Elementary)
English has twenty four consonant sounds, and several do not exist in many other languages, such as the two TH sounds, the English R and the W. Others, like V and B or L and R, are easy to mix. This test spreads the most difficult consonants across ten sentences, so you can see at a glance which ones need extra work.
Why practise this at A2 level
At A2 you already know the everyday words, so this is the right moment to fix habits before they become permanent. The sentences talk about shopping, travel and free time and are a little longer, which helps you keep the sound clear inside a phrase.
How to get it right
- Check which consonant your red words share
- Watch your lips and tongue in a mirror
- Use voice for voiced sounds such as V, Z and the TH in this
- Practise the sound with its dedicated test
