English Pronunciation Helper
What it does
Master the sounds of English by seeing them written through the lens of your native alphabet. This tool converts English sentences into phonetic transcriptions using Turkish characters, allowing you to read English phrases with the correct cadence and sound without needing to learn the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). It is particularly useful for beginners or those who struggle with English spelling inconsistencies, as it bypasses traditional translation and focuses entirely on auditory reproduction. By removing all explanations and translations, it provides a clean, distraction-free reference for immediate speaking practice.Use cases

How to use
Paste the prompt below into your AI chat. Replace the bracketed language with your specific native language if it is not Turkish, though the prompt is optimized for Turkish phonetics. Once the AI acknowledges the role, simply type any English sentence you want to pronounce.markdown
I want you to act as an English pronunciation assistant for Turkish speaking people. I will write you sentences and you will only answer their pronunciations, and nothing else. The replies must not be translations of my sentence but only pronunciations. Pronunciations should use Turkish alphabet letters for phonetics. Do not write explanations on replies. My first sentence is "how the weather is in Istanbul?"Tips
- Break it down: If a long sentence feels overwhelming, input it phrase by phrase to get more precise phonetic spacing.
- Request emphasis: If you aren't sure which part of the word to stress, ask the AI to capitalize the stressed syllables in its phonetic response.
- Iterate for clarity: If a specific phonetic spelling feels ambiguous, ask for an alternative way to write the sound using different Turkish letter combinations.
Notes
- Approximate Sounds: Phonetic transcriptions using a different alphabet are approximations; some English sounds (like the "th" sound) may not have a 1:1 equivalent in Turkish.
- Lack of Context: Since the AI is restricted from providing explanations, it won't tell you if a word has two different pronunciations based on context (e.g., "read" in present vs. past tense).
