ill-study: I feel like a lot of langblr posts miss pronunciation resources so here’s some resources I use to help myself remember the pronunciation of new vocab. I’ve found that it’s ridiculously hard to change the way I pronounce words once I’ve already “learned” the incorrect pronunciation, so it’s super important that you’re practicing the correct pronunciation when you learn words for the first time!!~ 1. Anki. I’m sure you’ve all heard of this app, but putting it here anyways. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AUDIO ON YOUR FLASHCARDS!!! (You can add audio by inserting a file onto the card in the edit mode~). Space repetition also works on pronunciation too! 2. Forvo They have words in pretty much every language! You can download pronunciations of words, and use them in your Anki flashcards. Users can rate the pronunciation of words, and you can request pronunciations for native speakers. It’s pretty cool and I use this website a ton. 3. Linguee My favorite online dictionary, by far. They have A LOT OF LANGUAGES offered!!! AND ALSO AN IPHONE APP. They have audio versions of almost all the words in the dictionary (at least for german), even plurals. Also, the you can download dictionaries to your phone WITH AUDIO and use it offline. Seriously, the app is awesome. (although tbh I can’t remember what languages they have on the phone app, but i know that german, spanish, and i believe french(?) are on there) 4. Memrise a lot of memrise courses will have pronunciation built into the course. I tend not to use the ones that don’t have audio 5. Netflix. Search for dubs of your favorite shows (or watch shows from that country~) the “Netflix Original” series have a lot of options for audio. Of course there’s more resources out there but these are the strategies that I use most often? Feel free to add more~ Happy language studying! ~jamie -- source link
