Task 3

Forvo is a collaboratively created pronunciation dictionary for any and every language in the world. Anyone can contribute their pronunciation of any word and some words have multiple examples all of which are tagged to location, so you can find specific pronunciations of the same word from different countries or locations within that country.

Go to: http://forvo.com/

Find the 3 words below and answer these questions about each one.

• How many example pronunciations are there for each word?
• How does the site attempt to ensure quality?
• What other information is available about each word in addition to the recorded pronunciation?

• advertisement
• communication
• pronunciation

Register on the site (It's free), create your profile and record your own pronunciation of each of the words.

Here you can find some suggestions for how to use Forvo with students
