We're proud to announce that we've teamed up with our friends at the Scots Magazine in order to help you learn how to pronounce some of those tricky Scots and Gaelic place names.
The pronunciation guide is available across the whole of the scotsmagazine.com website. in order to listen to how the words are pronounced simply double click on any word and you will see a blue “play” button appear beside it. Click the button to hear how the word is pronounced. The added bonus is that if the pronunciation of a word isn't already in Forvo's database a red record button will appear allowing you to record the word yourself. One for the expert Scots and Gaelic speakers amongst you ;-)
The functionality is a simple piece of JavaScript that is inserted into the site which allows the pronunciations to be called up from Forvo's giant database of words. You can find out more about the project here: scotsmagazine.com/articles/pronunciation-guide/
Do you have a language learning website or do you run a site focused on keeping minority languages alive? Would you like to implement the Forvo plug-in on your site to make those words come alive? Get in touch with us at info@forvo.com for more information.
