Forvo, Word Pronunciations by Native Speakers

Forvo is an engrossing pronunciation website that, rather than use robo voices, calls on users to pronounce words in their own languages. There are nearly one million words pronounced so far (Forvo’s stated goal is to pronounce all the words in the world.) Ever wonder how to pronounce methylchloroisothiazolinone, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, or Betäubungsmittelverschreibungsverordnung? Now you know. There’s even an iPhone app so you can lord over hapless mispronouncers wherever you are.

Forvo is the largest pronunciation guide in the world. Ever wondered how a word is pronounced? Ask for that word or name, and another user will pronounce it for you. You can also help others by recording your pronunciations in your own language.
