Practice target: Cockney — London East End

Simplified illustration, not measured anatomy. Use the written cue and recorded examples together.

How to make it

Glottal stop. Close the vocal folds briefly. Cockney 'bottle' = /ˈbɒʔəw/.

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.

“bottle, uh-oh. bottle, uh-oh.”

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.
