Passage 1 of 3

Practises the long a in bath, glass and after, and the silent r in water and garden.

After a long bath, Grandad asked for a glass of water and walked across the garden in the rain.

The score is how much of the passage a speech recogniser trained on British English understood, word by word. It shows how clearly you come across to that kind of listener, not whether your accent is right or wrong.
