Correct pronunciation of certain words is a highly disputed topic.  It becomes even more complicated when dealing with unfamiliar languages.  If you and your students come across any difficult words to pronounce, let the contributors of this week’s web tool settle the debate.
This web tool provides pronunciations of thousands of words in hundreds of languages.  It is a compilation of recordings by native speakers from different regions of the world.  Have a debate in your class and choose the pronunciations you all think are best!  Students could even contribute their own pronunciations to the site to give representation to our part of the country.
