In Part A, place the Turkish vowels on an empty vowel chart and compare them with IPA reference vowels. In Part B, a Turkish text-to-speech voice reads 18 words from this week's topics: write down what you hear and compare it with what the rules from class predict. In Part C, measure vowel length on a waveform and spectrogram, for the voice and for your own pronunciation.
Turkish words: ElevenLabs, voice “Mehmet Akif”, model Multilingual v2, read as a list.
Drag each vowel onto the chart. While you drag, you hear the IPA reference vowel closest to the point under your finger, with the same lip rounding as the vowel you are holding. Drop the vowel where you think it belongs, then check it. Tap a placed vowel to hear a Turkish word with that vowel.
Mark what you hear before you open the prediction. Your answers stay in this browser only.
Pick a word, then drag across the vowel on the display to select it. Use the spectrogram: the vowel is the stretch with dark horizontal bands (formants). Save the measurement, then compare the pairs.
Record one word per file on your phone (a voice memo works), say it in isolation, then choose the file here and set the word above to match. Files are read in this browser and never uploaded anywhere.

The rules predict a ratio clearly above 1 for each pair: [ɑɾɯ] vs [ɑːɾɯ], [oɫɑn] vs [oːɫɑn], and [zɑmɑn] vs [zɑmɑːnɯ] (second vowel). Word position matters too: a vowel at the end of a phrase is often longer, so compare like with like.
