I always used forvo.com for this kind of thing.
Edit: It's a "pronunciation dictionary". Ppl just record how they say words and indicate their geography. Super useful for languages like English where there are a lot of regional varieties.
And you can contribute too to the dictionary of your language. :)
I'm no affiliated w/ it btw, just really love this website, have been using it for years.
- noja 7y agoIs the American pronunciation of "communal" correct there? https://forvo.com/search/communal/en_usa/ https://forvo.com/search/communal/en_usa/
- therein 7y agoNot in my experience.
- kwoff 7y agoNo, it doesn't even sound like an American.. while the two downvoted ones do sound "correct".
- wyclif 7y agoNo, this is wrong. It sounds like it's being mispronounced by a native German speaker. There is no hard initial vowel sound; the first syllable is not emphasized like that. There are three syllables in the word: com-mun-al and it's pronounced "kəˈmyo͞on(ə)l,ˈkämyənəl/" so the stress is on the second, not the first syllable.
- jakubp 7y agoShe does put the stress on the second syllable.
- ggggtez 7y agoNope, the other one is right: https://forvo.com/search/communal/en_other/ https://forvo.com/search/communal/en_other/
