   Found on reddit, everything I needed.

   This was what I needed. Free linguistic search engine with all the side tools. UI is mostly designed for usability, and I really liked their 'gridflow' system.

   👍 Pros:    Multilingual|Free|Clean ui|Usability|Useful features|Simple yet powerful and efficient tool

   👎 Cons:    Stable

• Reliable pronunciation guide

  Oh and for anyone who doesn't know yet - there is this website https://forvo.com/ which has a lot of audio recordings from native speakers. You can search for a single word or a full phrase. It really helped me with Korean and German when I had doubts:). Source: 7 months ago

• Use YouTube to improve your English pronunciation

  Another useful site for hearing pronunciations is Forvo: https://forvo.com/ Those are user contributed pronunciations, so there was an effort to say the word clearly. Although Youglish might be more authentic in a sense, I prefer hearing a word enunciated precisely if I want to learn the pronunciation. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• I don't know the pronunciation of some words

  Forvo to hear isolated recordings of words, YouGlish to hear them in context. Source: 12 months ago

• Accent improvement tips.

  Another possible resource is a site called forvo in which people pronounce words and sentences in their own languages. Very useful tool to learn pronunciations of new words but please bear in mind that sometimes they can be unrealistic if they are exaggerated and/or out of context. Source: 12 months ago

• Do Italians sound like Google Translate does when speaking Italian?

  For individual words and phrases, go to http://forvo.com where you can hear native speakers in dozens of languages and even submit new words, names, or phrases. Source: 12 months ago

• twiddle, fiddle and fidget

  The three are similar, and sometimes interchangeable, but not usually. One resource I recommend is example sites like lengusa.com where you can see a lot of examples to get a feel for how words are used in the real world. Source: over 1 year ago

• Is saying „dominate on” correct?

  OP, there’s a website called lengusa that you can search for stuff like “dominate on” or other words/phrases and it’ll pull up examples of their use. It’s not comprehensive and I think it mainly pulls from magazine and news articles, but it’s a good place to start when you’re not quite sure if something is common or used by native speakers.

• Some states searching for "were" and "their"

  Tools/data used: https://simplemaps.com/us and https://analytics.google.com (I can access to that, happy to remove if this is outside the sub rules. It's ok according to my understanding of them) Lengusa is basically a sentence search engine that integrates WordNet (WordNet is a lexical database by Princeton University). So this is more of a map of which words/phrases are most frequently searched in each state in... Source: over 1 year ago

  Still, I want to assist him with his minor issue.I understand how difficult it can be to interact with people who do not speak your native language.As a result, I'm looking for ways to explain grammar rules to him.So he won't embarrass himself in front of everyone else.I discovered a sentence search engine for him online.But I'm not sure if it will help him with his minor grammar issue.Please let me know if you...

• Is there a website or app that gives you sentences including your intended word from reliable resources? The website lengusa.com does this for English.

  I used this website lengusa.com for English and I was wondering if there's something like this for German as well. Source: about 2 years ago
