Improve English speaking with Say It: English Pronunciation from Phona - Jenny Dance

Meet the expert

Jenny Dance, Educational Lead

  • 25+ years' English teaching experience; regular presenter on Oxford University Press’ online channels

  • Previously worked as an Examiner for the University of Cambridge ESOL

  • Eight years' professional experience in financial services marketing, at Goldman Sachs and Lloyds

  • Supported by an expert team of English Language Teachers and speech therapists, who are all contributing toward making the learner experience better, and improving the feature set with each new app update.

SayIt was created to help you speak English with confidence, by showing you how to pronounce words clearly and fluently.

In research carried out by university colleagues, international students predominantly rated all the features of SayIt - range of vocabulary, phonetic alphabet blocks, stress markers, interactive sound waves - as ‘very useful’. The majority of respondents agreed that using SayIt over a longer period would enable them to:

  • perform better academically

  • increase enjoyment of living in the UK

This has since been supported by multiple study cohorts. We recognise that there are many varieties of native and non-native speaker English accents. SayIt gives you a point of reference, using a standard British English or American English accent, which you can copy.

SayIt helps you speak more fluently - and research shows building your pronunciation skills also improves your listening, reading and writing.

SayIt functionality is used by companies, learning institutions and others including Speech and Language Therapists; and features of a future release will support reading acquisition.
