A colleague once showed me a website that contains a sound file for each word. I thought it was merriam webster, but I can’t seem to find it. I think it would be a great tool to recommend to students. Get them to stop using Chinese-English dictionaries anyway we can.
Anyone? A little help please???

Thanks BH, :bravo: but the one I saw was free. I usually recommend the site you’ve suggested. Anyone else?

The online dcitonary at the Merriam-Webster Web site also has sound files.

MAybe I am just stupid, but I can’t find the sound file link??? 
From the M-W audio FAQ page:
How can I hear the pronunciation of a word?
The word must be in boldface and followed by a red audio icon: . Click on the audio icon. A pop-up window will open, and in most cases the audio pronunciation will play automatically. Click on the “hear it again” link in the pop-up window to replay the pronunciation. When you are done, close the pop-up window.
Main Entry: 1link [Red audio icon]
Pronunciation: 'li[ng]k
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, of Scandinavian origin; akin to Old Norse hlekkr chain; akin to Old English hlanc lank
The merriam-webster website also has a site for kids with simpler definition at wordcentral.com
