Use YouTube to improve your English pronunciation
At the moment I see a few comments criticizing the mixed results in accents and pronunciations. I am a Brazilian who speaks English at work, so I just wanted to share my use case for Youglish.<p>I go to Youglish whenever I have <i>no idea</i> on how to pronounce a word. I read English much more than I listen to English (HN contributes to that), so it is not uncommon to find such words. I don’t need (nor want) to find the right accent to emulate or reach the perfect pronunciation to pass for a native speaker. I just want to be able to pronounce in a way that my coworkers will understand which word I am using.<p>My coworkers are kind and reasonable, so they don’t expect perfect pronunciation from me either, they just want to understand the words that are coming out of my mouth.<p>So, for me, it is not relevant at all that the accents might be mixed. As long as I learn <i>a</i> way to pronounce it, no matter <i>which</i> way. Youglish is a great resource for me.<p>(another is Grammarly, I stil don’t know why they don’t direct they marketing to non-native English speakers more, as it is perfect for us)
