<p>I'm wondering what ways there are too practice permission without a teacher, e.g. with software. I often will speak into pleco and Google translate to see if it can recognize my Chinese. I think this has helped me identify some errors in my pronunciation already. </p>

<p>Are there other methods? Does anyone have an opinion or info on how accurate pleco or google translate may be. I.e. if they correctly interpret my speech, how confidant can I be in my pronunciation? </p>

<p>Also, what about other apps such as Hello Chinese or Chinese Skill? They seem to be pretty forgiving with pronunciation, much more so than Google translate or pleco.</p>
