Hear What Changes in “Confirm”

“Confirm” has two syllables: con–FIRM. The first is short and unstressed. Let the second syllable sound a little longer and clearer, while keeping the beginning light.

Now return to the whole question. Keep the word stress natural; you don’t need to emphasize every word equally.

Five More Sentences for Clearer Workplace Speech

Choose a sentence you might actually use. Each one gives you a context, a specific pronunciation focus, and something to listen for on your next attempt.

02

Could you send the updated file?

Ask for the latest file · An extra syllable

You need the latest version of a document.

Keep the short final syllable in “updated.”

Listen for three syllables in “updated.” Because “update” ends in a /t/ sound, the ending adds a short syllable, /ɪd/. Keep that syllable when you say “updated file.”

Listen for this: Can I keep the final syllable without giving it extra emphasis?
Say it aloud.
Then try it again.
03

Can we meet on Thursday?

Suggest a meeting day · The /θ/ sound

You are suggesting a day for a meeting.

Start “Thursday” with gentle airflow.

For the /θ/ sound, place the tip of your tongue lightly at the edge of your upper front teeth. Let air flow gently, without a voiced buzz. Keep your tongue and jaw relaxed.

Listen for this: Can I begin “Thursday” with gentle, continuous airflow?
Say it aloud.
Then try it again.
04

I worked on the report.

Explain what you finished · A one-syllable ending

You are giving a short progress update.

Keep “worked” in one syllable.

The ending of “worked” is a /t/ sound. Avoid adding an extra vowel after it. Try “worked,” then “worked on,” and finally the complete sentence.

Listen for this: Can I keep “worked” in one syllable as I move into “on the report”?
Say it aloud.
Then try it again.
05

Please send it by Friday.

Connect two familiar words · A smooth connection

You are asking a colleague to send something before a deadline.

Move smoothly from “send” to “it.”

The final /d/ in “send” can move directly into the vowel at the beginning of “it.” Practice the two words together, without adding an extra pause or vowel. Keep a comfortable pace.

Listen for this: Can I connect “send it” smoothly without rushing?
Say it aloud.
Then try it again.
06

We need it by Friday.

Make the deadline clear · Sentence emphasis

Someone asks whether the deadline is Thursday. You clarify that it is Friday.

Let “Friday” carry the important information.

Give “Friday” more prominence, keeping its first syllable stressed. In this context, the day is the new information. Your emphasis can change when the meaning changes.

Listen for this: Can my listener easily hear which day matters?
Say it aloud.
Then try it again.

Highlighted words and diagrams show a practice focus, not a score. Sentence emphasis can change with your intended meaning.

Listen for this: Can I keep the stress on “SER” and finish the word clearly?

08 / French

Order a coffee

Je voudrais prendre un café.

A few useful answers

Pronunciation Practice, Explained

What to expect from these sentence exercises, and how to make them part of your speaking practice.

Do I need to lose my accent to speak clearly?

No. The goal is to help people understand your words and meaning. You can work on useful details such as word stress, endings, and emphasis while keeping your own voice.

Do I need a microphone to try these exercises?

No recording is required. Listen, read the guide, and say the sentence aloud. Audio playback uses the voices available on your device; availability and accent may vary by browser and language.

Do these exercises give me an AI pronunciation score?

These sample exercises provide model audio and written pronunciation guidance. They do not generate an automatic pronunciation score. The notes explain the sentence’s practice focus; they do not identify errors in a recording of your voice.

Should I practice slowly or at normal speed?

Use a slower pace to notice a particular detail. Then listen at normal speed and say the complete sentence at a comfortable pace. Clarity matters more than trying to speak quickly.

Which languages are included on this page?

The collection includes six workplace English sentences, plus introductory Spanish and French examples. Each has its own practice focus. Explore the language pages for more ways to continue learning.

Can I use these exercises for an English speaking exam?

They can help you practice pronunciation habits that support clearer speech. For exam formats and broader preparation, explore IELTS, TOEFL & PTE practice. These exercises are not official exam assessments.
