New words pronounciation
Hello, I find useful these learning books but I think the new words should be somehow linked to the pronounciation (attach the ogg from or link to wictionary.org sounds).

I'm trying to learn Dutch and the pronounciation is kind of difficult to guess :-D

What do you think? --Tct13 (talk) 10:43, 25 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I think that most language courses without links to audio files by native speakers are basically useless. (There are exceptions like dead languages or books about grammar.) This is probably the most important limitation of most of the wikibooks about foreign language learning. Unfortunately, neither wictionary nor wikimedia commons include pronounciations of a sufficiently large set of words. Furthermore, complete sentences would also be important for language learning. What can be done about it? Contributors should provide samples in their native language and appropriately licensed content should be uploaded to wikimedia commons. Moreover, authors of language learning books should be aware of this problem and find a solution before they start writing a course on language learning. --Martin Kraus (talk) 10:40, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
