About

Every day, millions of people around the world ask the same question: "How do you pronounce this?"

A word you spotted on a restaurant menu. A colleague's name from another country. A brand you see on a sign but are afraid to say out loud. We've all been there — and that's exactly why pronunciations.org exists.

What We Do

We help people confidently pronounce words in 16 languages — from English and French to Japanese and Arabic. Every word comes with:

  • Clear, high-quality audio — crisp pronunciation you can trust and repeat with confidence
  • IPA transcription — the International Phonetic Alphabet, the universal standard used by linguists worldwide
  • Multiple accents — American, British, and Australian for English; original pronunciation for borrowed words
  • Syllable breakdown — with visual stress markers so you can instantly see the rhythm of any word
  • Etymology — where the word came from and why it's pronounced the way it is

Who It's For

For anyone who has ever frozen in front of a word, unsure how to say it. For students preparing for IELTS. For travelers ordering a Croissant in Paris. For professionals who need to nail their partner's name in a meeting. For the curious who simply want to know how Worcestershire sounds.

Our Approach

We believe pronunciation isn't about memorization — it's about confidence. That's why every word on our site is more than a dictionary entry. It's a complete card: listen, repeat, check yourself with your microphone. We don't teach grammar or run quizzes — we do one thing, and we do it well.

Free and No Sign-Up

Everything on pronunciations.org is free. No subscriptions, no hidden limits, no registration wall. We believe that access to correct pronunciation is a basic right for anyone learning a language.

Over 1,000 words across 16 pronunciation languages. Interface in 10 languages. Growing every day.
