Forvo has the potential to be a really cool and extremely useful site. The objective of this site is to be able to give you the correct pronounciation of all the world’s words. If they can achieve even half of this, Forvo would become a tremendous resource for people learning a second language, or for picking up obscure words in your own language. After all, who really knows how to pronouce all those weird words in your average Shakespeare play?
Unfortunately, at the time of writing this Forvo had less than 14,000 words in 181 languages in its database. This means the chance of finding the word you want is fairly slim. However, don’t despair. There is a provision to ask for new words to be pronounced, and there even seems to be a way to join and offer pronounciations yourself. It’s kind of a Wikipedia for pronounciations, I suppose.
If it lasts, Forvo will become one of the coolest language resources on the Internet.
Thanks for your comments and hope to hear you soon there
