1. I have to agree- I had the most luck with the 3rd resource How to Pronounce. It was very user friendly. I was able to find a few of my students’ names like Daniyah & Chigozie. It was nice to see the option to add names into the database and even to add your own pronunciation of the name/term.
This resource could be helpful especially in teaching Global History with pronouncing names of key people/leaders or groups & vocabulary terms in lieu of “Americanizing” it. I typed in some terms we recently used in my class such as Upanishads (for Hinduism) & Shi Huangdi (for the Chinese Empires) and was pleasantly surprised they were in the database. I definitely would recommend this site.
The 2nd resource of Name Engine was also of value. It was interesting to see where students’ names were found (NBA, NCAA, etc.) and even famous individuals who share the same first name.
