The pronunciation exercise is designed to help students improve pronunciation of words and sentences. This exercise mimics one of the techniques instructors commonly use to improve a student's pronunciation. It first plays the native speaker's voice, and then prompts you to say the same thing (while the appropriate text is being highlighted). You record each word sequentially, and then the whole sentence. After the recordings are completed, the native speaker's voice and your voice are played "back-to-back"so you can compare them. You do not have to press any keys during this process, as the length of time of recording for each word is automatically determined by the length of the native speaker's recording.

The text that you are working with is exactly the same lesson text you've seen before in MaxBrowser, Multiple Choice, Dictation, Vocabulary Completion, and Flashcards.
