How to make it

Voiceless 'wh' used by speakers who distinguish which from witch. Mainstream RP and GenAm usually merge it with /w/.

No universal L1 substitution is asserted; personalize from the learner's measured baseline.

Use this repeatable synthesized model for the controlled word set. It is a practice reference, not a universal answer key for every speaker.

“which, whine. which, whine.”

Record the controlled word set and receive automated practice feedback. Scores are estimates, not expert or clinical diagnoses.

Reference audio only: this sound is accent-sensitive, so compare it with the named target variety rather than treating TTS as a universal answer key.

Conversation practice currently supports British RP and General American. Your selected sound accent has not been changed.
