Learning Pronunciation


A written text to explain pronunciation is just a starting point. You need to hear native speakers use the words.

Vocabulary CD's

For $10 - $15 you can get CD's of a foreign language with about 2000 words pronunced. This is good because you can click on any word ten times in a row to get a feel for the true sound. These type of CD's also help build your vocabulary.

Text-to-Speech

There are internet sites that sell products that will take the text you write and convert it to a sound file. This can help if you come across a word and you are uncertain how to pronoun it. The examples below were produced using Elan on the slow setting.
