When trying to learn how to pronounce a proper noun, hear phrases, or explore languages, Forvo is a great resource.
One exercise we like to use Forvo for is to learn how different languages convey the same idea or concept. For example, using the Forvo Guides, you can quickly see how common phrases of different groupings are spoken in a wide array of languages. You can explore colors and numbers in different languages. Here you can learn colors and numbers in Czech.
If you come across words that are not included, you can request a pronunciation for them from the community.
You can also share pronunciations of your own and contribute back to the Forvo community.
