LEARNING TO PRONOUNCE

I AM RECOMMENDING YOU A PAGE CALLED PHONETIZER. 


It's really easy to use. You just cut and paste or type in the text you want to use in the left hand side, click on 'Transcribe' and the text appears on the right with the phonetic writing underneath each line.  You can then cut and paste to a document if you want to save it. 


Why is it useful? To learn how  to pronounce  in the right and correct way.It is good for English learners that usually have difficulties when reading.
