This is a proposal for a tablet application for use by intermediate students primarily in self study. It consists of twenty four units in twelve question-and-answer pairs. The purpose is to help prepare learners for their encounters with normal fast everyday speech by teaching them to be comfortable with speech at different speeds up to 400 words per minute. Using the multi-touch capacity of tablets (sweep, single, double touch, etc), users will be in touch with recordings of fast, slow, and citation form pronunciations of words. Interactive exercises will accustom them to the different soundshapes that words have in natural speech. CEFR B1/2 level.
