Supply List
Optional Sound Visualizer app to assist in allowing visual students to see their pronunciation. This is often used by deaf students who are learning to speak. It assists them with making proper mouth movements and creating the correct sounds with their tongue to replicate the sound waves they see on the visualizer. It can be very helpful in learning a language with very different vocal sounds than your native language.
