Labels |
You will see a phonetic symbol on the
left of the screen and your task is to choose an
appropriate label for voicing, place of articulation and
manner of articulation from the three lists shown. Click
the ENTER button to get feedback, which
will appear in the text boxes at the bottom of each
column. If you get a label wrong, the correct answer will
be shown as a checked label in the appropriate column and
in a pop-up window. After a delay of 5 seconds, a new symbol will be presented. If you wish to alter the delay, type a number into the Delay box in the Controls area or use the up and down arrows on the box. After the presentation of 10 symbols, a review pop-up screen will appear showing the symbols you got wrong together with your score out of 10. To change the review interval type a number into the Review after box in the Controls area or use the arrows. The maximum is 25. To turn off the review altogether, set the number to zero. |
