Feedback on pronunciation and accent on LingQ?

Open Forum
1

Is there a way for learners to post audio files on LingQ (e.g. in an open/forum-like section) so that other members can provide feedback on pronunciation/accent etc?

I know that individual tutors could do this during a points-paid conversation but I was thinking more along the lines of what you see on YouTube where a polyglot/language learner posts a video and people freely comment below.

Is this already possible somehow on LingQ and if not, I wonder whether people would find it useful…

What about ‘Correct Pronunciation’ check box in the Exchange section of LingQ?

Thanks Ress. I was thinking more about in the forums, rather than needing to use points… but hadn’t realised you could do this on the exchange (still finding my way around the site).

Note that the points on the exchange are only the suggested points. If you have a language partner, you can propose to check each other’s pronunciation using the exchange for one point.

Thanks Steve. I didn’t know this either. What’s the best way to find a language partner - is posting on the forum best? I know those sorts of requests tend to clog up the forum and annoy some learners but is there any other way?

I wold go to the exchange, post an audio file that you would like comments on, and offer one point. Then say in the comment section that you are prepared to correct English pronunciation in return for one point. See what happens.

Thanks Steve. I’ll try this!

Note that you have to lower the point total before someone accepts to do the task. You can’t lower the points offered after someone has accepted.

Thanks for the tip. Only just used the exchange for the first time a couple of days ago. But at least now have some points up my sleeve…

Sorry for the repeat post … the screen froze. Have posted my audio successfully (and this technophone has learnt 2 new things today). Thanks again.
