<![CDATA[English vocabulary pronunciation is one of the important aspects that must be mastered by English learners. However, many people in Indonesia face difficulties in mastering basic vocabulary pronunciation, which can hinder their progress in the early stages of learning speaking and listening. Mistakes in pronunciation often cause ineffective communication, making the message difficult for the other person to understand. Even at the level of learners who have memorized many vocabularies and are able to have simple conversations, mispronunciation remains a significant obstacle and often hinders smooth communication. To address this challenge, this study aims to develop an application based on speech processing technology and Natural Language Processing (NLP) that is specifically designed to provide pronunciation correction for selected vocabulary. This application focuses on mastering the pronunciation of 500 basic vocabulary as a companion for learning speaking and listening at an early stage. This application does not only aim to memorize vocabulary, but also helps users learn to pronounce each word correctly. With this approach, users can get real-time corrective feedback for each vocabulary spoken, allowing them to correct mistakes directly and gradually improve their speaking ability. In addition, the application provides pronunciation analysis supported by speech processing technology to recognize and analyze user pronunciation errors, while NLP is used to provide relevant assessments and improvement suggestions automatically. The results of the study show that this application is effective in helping learners improve their pronunciation of basic vocabulary. By focusing on frequently used basic vocabulary, this application helps users improve their speaking skills more easily. This application is also a tool that supports independent learning for users, thereby increasing their confidence in speaking English. This study is expected to be a solution that supports more effective and affordable English learning, especially for beginners in Indonesia who want to start mastering speaking and listening with a stronger foundation.]]>
