While a lot of the ‘first generation’ discourse makes this about social class, the situation of distance learners is quite different. These queries are usually couched in a self-deprecating way (‘I’m not sure if I’m saying this right…!’; ‘I know it’s silly that I don’t know this, but…!’), but still, it’s a quick and easy way of fixing the problem. So if you know of any brilliant resources out there to help with the modern pronunciation of names and terms, do let me know and I’ll pass them on! I’m talking about the much more basic issue of how you use classical names, terms or titles in conversation, if you’ve never heard them spoken before.

So what do we do about it? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wouldn`t_It_Be_Loverly. Wouldn`t It Be Loverly `Wouldn`t It Be Loverly` is a popular song by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe, written for the 1956 Broadway play My Fair Lady. But I haven’t been homeless or desperate, like some of the scholars who have been sharing on Twitter. Antigone was one that it took awhile to click and Cicero was another.

What surprised me, when looking for useful resources online, is that there don’t seem to be a lot of videos or podcasts which specifically address pronunciation.
The website aims to publish all wordlists, big and small, on the internet, making it much easier to find the word you need. I was heavily influenced by W Sydney Allen’s book on pronunciation. ( Log Out / What do you mean real things? {

Encyclo.co.uk, online since 2007, is a search engine for English meanings and definitions. However, I think it’s even more a problem for distance learners, who could conceivably write an entire dissertation on Thucydides without ever knowing how to pronounce ‘Thucydides’.
