How to make it

Stop /t/ + release into /ʃ/. 'Church' /tʃɝtʃ/.

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.

“church, match. church, match.”

No R sound in “church”? That’s correct: RP (Received Pronunciation)drops an R that isn’t followed by a vowel (“car” sounds like “cah”).

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

Choose a scene, then try one example word in a natural reply. This focus is self-directed, not a sound-specific assessment.
