Stop guessing how to say "-ed." Learn to hear and speak all three English past-tense sounds with real American audio, instant speech feedback, and games that make it stick. Master ED Pronunciation is built by John, the teacher behind the YouTube channel "Everything English with John," for ESL and EFL learners who want to sound natural, not just grammatically correct. THE 3 SOUNDS Every -ed verb ends in one of three sounds. Most learners never get taught this — you will: • /ɪd/ — wanted, needed, started (adds a syllable) • /t/ — washed, kissed, walked (just air, no voice) • /d/ — called, played, listened (a soft buzz) WHAT'S INSIDE • 150 of the most useful -ed verbs, organized by sound • Real recorded American-English audio for every verb and every example sentence — normal and slow speed • Speak It: say the verb into your microphone and get instant feedback with speech recognition • Choose the Right Sound and Listen & Choose — fast, Kahoot-style buzzer games • Sentence practice, spelling practice, and linking practice (like "wanted it") • A guided, interactive onboarding that gets you started in minutes • Daily streak with a goal you set, plus an optional reminder notification • Progress tracking that shows exactly which verbs you know and which need work IRREGULAR VERBS BONUS 180 irregular verbs (go, went, gone and more) with flashcards, spelling tests, fill-in-the-blank exercises, and a "similar verbs" toggle that groups verbs by pattern so they're easier to remember. Plus an Irregular Verb of the Day to keep your streak going. LEARN IN YOUR LANGUAGE The app interface is translated into 51 languages, including Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Russian, Turkish, Vietnamese, and Indonesian. Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and Urdu display in full right-to-left layout. Light and dark mode included. FREE, SIMPLE, NO SIGN-UP No account, no sign-up — your progress saves right on your device. The app is free to use with a small banner ad. A one-time Remove Ads purchase takes the ad away for good. Every lesson, verb, game, and feature is free either way — nothing is ever locked behind a purchase. Made in the USA. American English, taught by a real American teacher. "I built this app because '-ed' pronunciation is one of the most common things my students ask about — and one of the easiest things to fix once you actually hear the difference. Give it 10 minutes a day." — John

Verdict

The call

Master ED Pronunciation's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs freemium) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
