English intonation and rhythm practice, P1 to S6 and adults
See your voice. Make English go up and down.
Many learners speak English in one flat tone, so questions sound like statements and long sentences run together. AccentEasy draws your voice as a line next to a native speaker’s, tells you whether your sentence ended going up or down, and coaches natural speed and pauses — with explanations for parents in seven languages.

See your voice
Pick a sentence: grey is the model voice, orange is a learner’s take.
Is this your bag?
Your voice went up at the end
Where is my pencil?
Your voice went up at the end. This one goes down: listen to the model again.
I like apples.
Your voice stayed level at the end. This one goes down: listen to the model again.
Hear the difference, then see it
Your voice, drawn as a line
Say the sentence and your pitch appears next to the model’s. You can see at a glance whether your voice rose, fell or stayed flat — no ear for music needed.
Intonation and Rhythm & Tempo
Five intonation patterns — yes/no questions, wh- questions, statements, instructions and surprised questions — plus natural speaking speed and pauses in longer sentences.
Six levels, your school’s grade names
600 original sentences from P1 to S6, shown with the grade names of Hong Kong, Mainland China, Taiwan, Singapore, Japan, Korea or a general Grade 1–12. Adults choose their own level.
A model voice to copy
Every sentence has a model in American or British English, with a slow option. Play back your own take to compare.
Explanations for parents, progress you can see
Each pattern is explained in English, Traditional or Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish or French. Statistics show the patterns that need work and how lively your voice is getting.
Private by design
Your voice is analysed on the device and never recorded or sent anywhere. No account, no advertising, and it works offline.
Seven patterns, one at a time
Each lesson practises one pattern. The ending arrows show where the voice goes: ↗ up, ↘ down.
Intonation
- Yes/no questions Questions you can answer with yes or no usually go up at the end: Is this your bag? ↗
- Statements Ordinary sentences that tell something go down at the end: I like apples. ↘
- Wh- questions Questions that start with what, where, who, why, when or how usually go down at the end, not up: Where is my pencil? ↘
- Instructions When you ask someone to do something, the voice goes down at the end: Close the door, please. ↘
- Surprised questions A sentence said as a surprised question goes up at the end, even without a question word: You finished it already? ↗
Rhythm & Tempo
- Natural speed Say the sentence at a natural speed: not too fast, not too slow, and without stopping in the middle.
- Pauses In longer sentences, pause briefly where the ideas break, often at a comma: When I got home, / I had dinner.
How it works
-
Listen to the model
Choose your level and a lesson. The model voice says each sentence; tap Slow to hear it again more slowly.
-
Tap the microphone and say it
Your voice is drawn as a line beside the model’s. The app hears whether your sentence ended going up, down or level.
-
Collect stars and see what to practise
Stars for the right ending and a lively voice (or for speed and pauses). After each lesson, see every sentence with an explanation, and which patterns to practise next.
Who it’s for
Students from P1 to S6
Reading aloud and oral exams reward natural intonation and sensible pauses. A few minutes a day trains the ear and the voice together.
Parents helping at home
Every result comes with a short explanation in your language, so you can tell your child why a question should go up — even if English isn’t your strength.
Adults who want to sound natural
Flat intonation can make you sound bored or unsure in meetings and conversations. Practise the melody of English at your own level.

Frequently asked questions
What is AccentEasy?
AccentEasy is an iPhone and iPad app for practising English intonation and rhythm. You listen to a model sentence, say it, and see your voice drawn as a line next to the model’s. The app tells you whether your sentence ended going up or down, and coaches natural speed and pauses.
Which ages and levels is it for?
Students from Primary 1 to Secondary 6 (Grades 1–12), in six levels, and adults, who choose their own level. Grade names can follow Hong Kong, Mainland China, Taiwan, Singapore, Japan, Korea or a general Grade 1–12.
How does the app know if my intonation is right?
It measures the pitch of your voice — how high or low it is — and how that changes at the end of the sentence. It does not try to recognise your words, so it works the same for every accent, and it never decides whether your pronunciation is “good”.
Is my voice recorded or sent anywhere?
No. The microphone is used only while a practice screen is open, your voice is analysed on the device, and the take is kept in memory just long enough to play it back. Nothing is saved or sent.
Will it change my accent?
It is not about losing your accent. It teaches the melody of English — where the voice goes up and down — which makes any accent easier to understand. The model voice can be American or British.
What is free and what is Premium?

Does it need the internet or an account?
No. Every sentence and the model voices are on your device, so it works offline. There is no account, no sign-up and no advertising, and your progress stays on your device.
