forvo The kid and I have been having big fun with this pronunciation guide (she's been learning Spanish and I've been double-checking my pronunciation). Love hearing all the different accents.
This is great! It should help me in my quixotic quest to learn Walloon.

THIS IS SO COOL.

I could click through the French words all day.

Also, my partner has been trying to learn some Spanish for work, and having this handy can't hurt. The Rosetta Stone software he's using just chokes on his very southern accent, and he's gotten completely frustrated with it.

The list of words they need pronounced in English looks like a list of Welsh town names. WTF.

Neat! As someone who is learning Spanish, slowly, I have learned that pronunciation can change meanings. For example, my brother-in-law, who is also learning Spanish, pronounced the ņ in "Feliz Aņo Nuevo" as an n. Turns out that would translate to "Happy New Anus!".
