So, here are the most important ones (mostly with native speakers):



Carnauba



Souverän



Klasse



Migliore



Werkstatt



Einszett



Tiefenpfleger



Gummipflege



Zuffenhausen



Glasur



Porsche



Pneu (Swissvax)



Menzerna

I have a Mac. What program do I use to open the .ogg files?

 

[imported_Bence]

No idea. The links are simply little play buttons on the site...

 

[CKSpeed]

Could someone write these out phonetically?

You need to dl a plugin for ogg vorbis. Or dl winamp. Ogg vorbis files are my fav..... Never use mp3

Use Audacity for the Mac. It's free! Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder

They work great with VLC, a very useful media player for the Mac (it also plays .wmv files and many others).





Thanks for posting these!

Just go to Forvo: the pronunciation guide. All the words in the world pronounced by native speakers and serch for the words manually. you then have a play button that uses the website's built-in audio player.



Great topic Bence! :spot

Thanks Toni! I'm trying to make life easier for those who don't know the exact pronunciation of these brands. We all have heard "strange versions".



BTW the links show directly to Forvo's built-in player...
