Google Translate is now 20 years old, and to celebrate, the company has added a new feature that lets users practice their pronunciation and enunciation of words and phrases in different languages. <\/p>\n

When you translate a word, sentence, or phrase, you can navigate into the \u201cPractice\u201d menu to find a \u201cPronounce\u201d button, which shows you phonetics that you can say out loud to practice speaking the translated text.<\/p>\n

The app then scores your pronunciation and gives you feedback, like \u201cSome sounds were a little unclear.\u201d You can listen to the app\u2019s pronunciation of the text, too.<\/p>\n

The feature is rolling out in the U.S. and India, and currently supports English, Spanish, and Hindi.<\/p>\n

This feature resembles Duolingo in how it lets you practice speaking words and sentences. <\/p>\n

Last month, the company rolled out its live headphone translation feature to iOS, and expanded its availability on Android devices to Germany, Spain, France, Nigeria, Italy, the United Kingdom, Japan, Bangladesh, and Thailand.<\/p>\n
