Cloud Crowd

A fun visual pronunciation book for English L and R

Concept + words by Melanie Taylor
Illustrations by Megan Tsen

Made for Japanese learners of English — and anyone who enjoys art and wordplay

English L and R sounds are especially challenging for Japanese speakers. Cloud Crowd makes these differences easier to notice by pairing minimal-pair words with clear, playful illustrations. One sound change. One meaning change. Instantly visible.

What This Book Is

Cloud Crowd is a read-aloud pronunciation practice book, not a storybook.

It presents 15 English minimal pairs (such as cloud / crowd) across 40 full-color pages, designed to help learners see, hear, and practice the difference between sounds.

Why It Works

  • Visual comparison makes sound differences clear

  • Designed for reading aloud and repetition

  • Useful for self-study, classrooms, or tutoring
