ESOL people: avoid searching YouTube for "How to pronounce" videos because they are usually shit. Often poorly generated computer voices.
Instead look for examples of real usage of the word in use e.g. https://youglish.com/ https://youglish.com/
English is my mother tongue and I often need to look up how to say and use phrases from other English speaking regions e.g. "nowt" recently.
And take care to pick your accent - particularly American or British. "can't" is particularly hard to say properly in my English and US people misunderstand the way we say it.
