How to make sure your pronunciation is right

Sometimes we're not sure about the pronunciation of certain words, and we don't have the time to look them up, one by one.

The good news is that we already have online software to help us with this issue. Please visit ReadSpeaker and try it yourself.

Steps:
1- select the language and the accent you expect to hear
2- type your sentence
3- click on Listen

That's it! I hope you enjoy it.

Have a nice weekend.
