So I found this site, [forvo.com](http://forvo.com/), which is getting people all over the world to pronounce words in their native language. 🆒 Pronunciations can then be rated so that bad pronunciations can be replaced by good ones.

They’re still getting started, so words in some (all?) languages are pretty scarce. I found that there is not a single word in Welsh (Cymraeg) that has been pronounced and I want to hear how the “ll” in Welsh is really pronounced!

Is anyone else interested? What languages can you help the site with? Have they missed a language?

This is a website I have been wishing existed. Thanks for the link.

Nice find!

Should solve one of the questions that was floating around the board on a British vs American pronunciations thread…[Worcestershire](http://forvo.com/word/worcestershire/) 🙂
