Pronounciation helper

I just want to confess that I sometimes have difficulty in pronouncing some English words. Since I am not an American I have an excuse for that. But isn't it nice to here those who could speak and pronounce English well? yeah I envy them. So, I came across with this site howjsay which helps you pronounce English words. All you have to do is type the word you want to pronounce, then it will give you the right pronunciation of it. This is a handy site for those who want to be sure that the words they are saying are pronounced right.

Hi, I was actually wondering how to pronounce "Freng" and got to this page when I Googled it. How do you say your name? (Does it sound like "free"? Rhyme with "pen"?)

Sorry - just re-posted, I wanted to add that you can also go to www.thefreedictionary.com where you can not only hear the word pronounced but see what the word means, how it's used, and other words which mean the same thing.

And don't worry, even those of us who speak perfect English are confused by the language's lack of pronunciation rules sometimes! =D

Hi Annie, sorry for the very very late reply. I neglected this blog last year and this year I decided to make it active again. Thanks for visiting my blog even though I only have very few posts.

For my name freng, its pronunciation sounds like "reng".

Thanks for sharing the website www.thefreedictionary.com.
