abstract = {This paper provides a review of our experiences with using the web-based
program PERCY [1] to test and train native speakers of Danish to perceive the English
/s-z/ contrast, which Danish does not have. 49 native Danish speakers in two different
age groups, 24 seniors and 25 younger adults, participated as either controls or
trainees. The trainees conducted 10 web-based training sessions on /zV/ and /sV/
tokens over 3 weeks. All participants were tested for identification accuracy on the
initial /zV/, /sV/ tokens, which were trained, as well as on final untrained /Vs/, /Vz/
tokens before and after the 3-week training period. The trainees, but not the controls,
were significantly more accurate in perception of /zV, sV/ after the training period.},
