Got the tongue twisties when trying to say “Auf wiedersehen” to the new German girl in your building? Or perhaps English is your second language, and you almost have a panic attack before saying “beach”, for fear it will come out sounding like something not so pleasant? Have no fear, for Forvo is here. A way less foulmouthed and organized version of Gringoes.nu, it similarly relies on the help of people like you and me to add recordings to help others learn to pronounce words in different languages. The variety of tongues stretch from Afar to Zulu — there are 196 languages in all. The only thing that’s missing is a dictionary, which makes all the difference between “beach” and the other “b” word. Nonetheless, I can’t think of a more fun and surmountable New Year’s resolution than learning a new language.
