I'm looking for a voice synthesizer that allows for the input of a string of IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) characters and their pronunciation together, as in it would pronounce "you" if I typed in /ju/, or "you geek" if I typed in /'ju gi:k/. I want it to be useful for other languages as well, so it would pronounce "qaqambile" as /||α || αm 'bi le/. I've found plenty of good applets for the individual sounds online, so please don't send me any of those.

I've found plenty of applets that produce all the sounds individually, so please don't share any of those with me.
Also, no programs or sites that take English (or other individual languages) and convert them to IPA or pronounce them.

Thanks in advance.

I want to learn a new language, but I don't know how to go about it. I've been thinking about getting a cd, or computer program, but I don't know which one to get. I want to ultimately learn Russian, Spanish, German, Portugese, and Latin.

If I go to America everyone just sounds "American" although I do realise that there are different accents E.g southern and New York accents.
Do americans find the same with us,or does a Yorkshire accent sound the same as a Somerset or "home Counties"

Why does it seem that everyone can learn English (from other countries) than it is for Americans to learn another language? Is this true? If you had to learn english, how hard was it?

Doris ha tratado de escribirte a tu email y le rebota.

Ella también se quiere comunicar contigo, hasta pensó que había escrito mal tu email y por eso rebotaba.

Yo le enviado tu email para que ella verifique lo que tiene grabado y nada de nada, que puede comunicarse contigo, no se que pasa.

Ya le he dicho que estas tratando de comunicarte con ella,

Ojala puedan comunicarse mañana

Confírmame si tienes grabado el email de su trabajo en tu email.

Spanish translation please!!!
THANKS!

Also:

I trust you completely and please realize that I didn't see you on Thursday. I don't know where you were but I got off work at 8. You said you would call me so I went home and waited for you to call, but you never did. I thought for the second time you did not want to go. This is such a small problem that is neither of our faults, so why get upset over it? You know that I wanted to go with you, I always want to be with you. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, but please don't be upset.

Ok heres the life-story. A girl in my school recently moved from Cameroon to England to live with foster parents. Shes the sweetest thing on the earth and i love her to bits, i think about her all the time! She recntly became one of my best mates ever and i learnt that she comes from a part of Cameroon that speaks 'BAFANG' also known as 'FE'FE' and 'NUFI'. I also learnt that her dad had left her and her mum when she was young and she hadnt ahd such a great life there, which breaks my heart when i think about it.
I was just wondering, can ANYONE here speak a word of her native language (the language named above :-) ) that i could say to her. She's only ever told me 2 phrases in the language and wont tell me more because she doesnt like it when i dont understand :-P, but when I said the phrases to her her eyes lit up and she looked so happy and I felt like she wanted to keep talking the language. PLEASE ANYONE WHO SPEAKS A WORD OF THIS, PLEASE HELP ME :-(
