In all of my geekdom, I discovered my new favorite website: Forvo.com. All of the words in the world. Pronounced.
It has over 6,000,000 people pronouncing words that might typically throw you, like Aeschylus (that one always gets me) or Jeffrey Eugenides (also had a really hard time getting that one down).
For this website you will need:
1. A computer
2. Volume turned up on said computer
You type your word in, and then click on a little arrow icon and voila: someone says the word correctly!
It even gives you a "Language of the Day," which today is Flemish, in case you want to practice your Belgian Dutch.
I'm searching the house for words I can't pronounce...I might play on this all day!
