Blue Canoe Pronunciation Dictionary Extension

Double-click and then right-click on any word to see its stress and vowel.

Simply select a word and get a pop-up that teaches you the two most important things about saying that word: where to put the stress, and what vowel sound (color) you should use. This dictionary is built on the award-winning Color Vowel® System, used by more than 10,000+ ESL teachers around the world, and now you can use it, for free, on your computer.

Frustrated by all the complexities and “exceptions” of English pronunciation? Tired of not being able to listen and then accurately repeat a word? You are not alone! Blue Canoe and the Color Vowel System will help!

Visit www.bluecanoelearning.com for more information. Download the Blue Canoe mobile app for daily lessons that work to improve your spoken clarity and confidence.

Watch this 3-minute video to learn more about the most successful way to improve your spoken English. https://youtu.be/21XNGIefcR8

* Move from just knowing what a word means, to confidently using a word when you talk.
* Double-click to select, and then right-click on any word to get a pop-up that tells you which syllable to stress (make longer), and what vowel sound (color) you should use, as you say the word out loud.
* Listen to the vowel sound recording and then the word recording, and the visual and musical parts of your brain will help you to “hear” it in a way that is not possible with just your language brain.
* Go to the Options in Blue Canoe icon in the browser extension bar to change how you call up the pop up, if desired.
* Use the Blue Canoe mobile AI app to learn and practice so much more about speaking English with clarity and confidence. Get it from your mobile App Store.

NOTE: After installing this extension, refresh any previously opened tabs to use it on those tabs. According to the rules of the Chrome Web Store, it will also not work on the store pages.

Doug Lott (ID: 00000002dc81ebf7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/09/2020 My students are spending a lot more time reading on-line! It took a couple of on-line meetings for them to see how easy it is to use. A student would struggle with pronunciation of a word, then we would talk about it, and then check with Blue Canoe. Now, they go to Blue Canoe first. Their reading skills, and vocabularies, are growing dramatically since they aren't afraid of mispronouncing the words. I love it, and my student love it!
