As a non-English speaker, reading and writing is not a difficult things, as long as I know what those English terms mean.

However, very often I miss-pronounce a specific term that no one know what I am talking about.
Is there anywhere (on web preferably) I can learn how to correctly pronounce a English scientific term? so I can have chance join discussion with others.

Anyone have any suggestion one English pronunciation?

Thanks a lot

I guess it depends with whom you speak too...Canadians will pronounce different compared to people from UK or Ireland or India...many of the online dictionaries such as Merriam-Webster Online have a function to play the sound of the word (I guess in Oxford English pronunciation, but not sure)

Follow the Oxford Advanced Learner's dictionary. Look up the word U wish to know how they are pronounced and see the pronounciation symbols to learn the pronounciation.
