# Articulation videos

Most exercises have a **target word or phrase** that some people will want to say aloud. Every target word or phrase comes with a set of **articulation videos** showing the words being spoken, broken down into words, syllables and *phonemes* (the sounds that make up the word). This is an incredibly powerful resource. Let's look at how this screen works:

1. Close-up **video** of the current sound being spoken. **Double tap** to increase the **size**. Double tap again to revert.
2. **Select** which **part** of the word or phrase you would like to practise. This will trigger the corresponding video to play.
3. **Scroll down** to see the word or phrase broken into **smaller units**. Phrases are broken down into **phrase / words / syllables**, while words are broken down into **words / syllables / phonemes**.
4. Control the playback **speed** of the video
5. **Mute / Unmute** the video.
6. Start an **audio recording** of your own attempts to produce the target word or phrase
7. Open the articulation drawer
8. Exit the articulation drawer and return to the question
