iPhone

Chunkly takes an English sentence all the way from "I can't even parse this" to "I can say it." See the structure. Break it into thought groups. Read it out loud. Get scored word by word. Most apps do one of those four; Chunkly does the whole chain — and all of it runs on your iPhone. WHAT YOU GET • Shadowing with real feedback Listen to a model reading, record yourself, and get accuracy, completeness and fluency scores. Every word is color-coded, and problem sounds are pinpointed down to the phoneme. • Long-sentence breakdown — 90 sentences, 9 grammar topics Relative clauses, subjunctives, inversion, ellipsis. Each sentence is split into thought groups with its role labelled and the bare skeleton one tap away — then it feeds straight into shadowing, so the structure you just understood is the structure you read. • 39 phoneme lessons Each American English sound with articulation tips, example words, and the mistakes speakers of your language typically make. • Phonics — 67 rules Learn how spelling maps to sound, from short vowels and magic-e to vowel teams and r-controlled vowels. Once you know the rules, most new words become readable on sight. • Minimal pair training think or sink? light or right? Hear the difference, then prove you can produce it. • 3,000 high-frequency words and 1,200+ sentences Grouped into 20 everyday themes — food, travel, work, health — so you can practise the words you actually need next. Months of material, not the same ten sentences on repeat. BUILT FOR YOUR LANGUAGE The interface and all pronunciation guidance adapt to Chinese, Japanese or Korean — including the specific sounds each group finds hardest. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No analytics. No ads. Recording and scoring happen entirely on your device using Apple's on-device speech recognition. Your voice never leaves your iPhone. FREE AND FULL VERSION The free version is the complete app, not a demo: every feature works end to end, with the opening part of each section unlocked — 10 phoneme lessons, 2 phonics groups, and a few sentence sets, word themes and minimal pairs. One purchase unlocks everything else, forever. No subscription, no renewal, no ads. A note on scoring: scores come from on-device speech recognition and are a guide, not a verdict. The long-term trend matters more than any single attempt.
