  1. Hi Maggie,

    It's me again. I suggest you can try Yahoo dictionary. They provide on-line "pronunciation". You can type in characters in either Chinese or English. so it's very convenience. go ahead and give it a try.

    Sincerely!

  2. Hi,QQQ

    I think you misunderstood my actual meaning. And I definitely didn't express my meaning clear as well. I exactly know how to find out the phonetics of the vocabularies. However,I originally mean that I can't pronounce them very excellently like English native speakers. I request some of native speakers to correct my pronunciations sometimes on skype. I found out that I simply can not speak some words very well,such as "the","living","three" etc. I mean when I speak some words in English,I can't control my tongue very well. Maybe it's because we are used to speaking Chinese. Probably, most of English learners think it's very easy to say. But if we pronounce it carefully,probably we would find out it's not trivial for non-native speakers to say it precisely. Maybe some of people imiply view it as accents,I would like to say it more precisely. Hopefully, you can understand what I mean.


    Thanks for your suggestions,too.


    Maggie^^
