Improve your pronunciation with Text to Speech!

If you want to improve your pronunciation or find out how to say certain words, you could use a 'text to speech' programme. It's really magic!

Just copy your MFL text (for example, your German speaking exam preparation) and paste it in the box.

Choose your language and click on listen.

Simply follow this link:

You can even choose whether you want a male or female native speaker to read it out...

Do the process sentence by sentence and repeat after the speaker to achieve perfect authentic pronunciation!

Test your Language skills with the BBC

If you are getting bored over half-time, are missing your language lessons and have some time to kill, why don't you take the BBC language test to judge how good you really are?

especially those of you starting the countdown to GCSE and GCE exams, do have a look at this. It tests all four skills and gives you an idea of your level. 

KS 3 can try the beginner  section, KS 4 should probably go for the post-beginner level!
Good luck!

Another odd German video with two trees talking about their leisure activities (!)
