Thread: pronunciation training program

Ok so like probably most speakers of english as a 1st language, some sounds especially Ы is tricky. Im just wondering if there is a device that says im correct or incorrect. Like in the instance of "tuning" my vowels and constinants, like a beginner at guitar would use a tuner to see if a string was sharp or flat.

I've thought for a long time what this word combination could mean until I read that you used an online translator for "thanks in advance". It's "спасибо заранее" in Russian.

The most helpful thing for me so far has been to use tapes and to just keep practicing listening to and speaking words that I find difficult and eventually they get better. (How's that for a run-on sentence?)
