Hi Everybody—I’m an advanced English learner, and looking for advice as to how to master English phonetics (American English). Also, I’d like to buy an English pronouncing dictionary (American English); however, I keep reading confusing recommendation with regards to which pronunciation dictionary is best for learner of American English. Please let me know what you think. Based on my initial research, Longman Pronunciation Dictionary by J.C. Wells is the best pronouncing dictionary for learner of American English; please let me know if I'm mistaken.
What is the best English Pronouncing dictionary?
Longman series are not that good. Disguisting is pronounced [dIzg@stinG] according to Longman.
I have got a Collins Lexibase e-dictionary, and using it every day.
