A website to hear pronounciation of words?
hello
is there a website where I can enter words and hear their pronunciation? also I would like the linguistic writting of their pronunciation (with phonetics, I am not sure who these symbols next to the word in dictionaries are called, the pronunciation symbolization) thanks |

The IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) is used internationally to represent how a word is pronounced, no matter the language. Learning the symbols, and the sounds they represent, presents a learning curve.
What you see in most English dictionaries are the English pronunciation symbols. While these are easily recognizable to those of us who speak English, they are insufficient for proper Spanish pronunciation. You must hear a native speaking the language in order to learn how to pronounce its words. There are sites that let you listen to audio files of some words, but no site provides files for every word. And, just like there are variations in English pronunciation (even within the U.S.), there are variations in Spanish pronunciation. |
