PRONUNCIATION OF WORDS	The following list of sites shows students how to pronounce specific words.
Vocabulary.com ★★★★★	This is, by far, the clearest and most comprehensive website when it comes to pronouncing words in English that I have come across.  This is my #1 recommendation at the moment in this category.  The site has an interface for standard computer (PC) browsers, as well as mobile platforms (Android & iOS).
Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary ★★★★☆	This useful website provides the definition of the word as well as its pronunciation--click on the American "speaker" icon.
Dictionary.com ★★★★☆	This useful website provides the definition of the word as well as its pronunciation--click on the "speaker" icon.  At the time of writing, the pronunciation on this website was not as clear as vocabulary.com or the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary.  I like the website because the URL is easy to remember.
Forvo ★★★☆☆	Forvo is a socially-based pronunciation website with several versions of the word from all parts of the world.
How J Say ★★★☆☆	A free online Talking English Pronunciation Dictionary - simply mouse over your entry to hear it pronounced. American and British spellings, with alternative pronunciations. Sounds are fast and completely natural, pre-recorded by native speakers. Answers the question "How do you say...?".  Careful, the recordings are spoken by British (not North American) speakers. Still, this is a great resource for hearing many difficult letter pairings.
YouTube ★★★☆☆	In the search field on YouTube, simply enter the words "How to pronounce _______" with the word you wish to hear. For example, "how to pronounce hair". There are a few users that have cataloged the pronunciation for every word in the English language there.
