Hi. I teach English, and Google has a great pronunciation help tool. You can see it at the link below for the word "therapist". Is there a better way to get to this tool / a shorter official link that I can use to direct students to this tool? Right now, I tell students to search "how to say _______" on Google, or share really long ugly links.

Today I found an interesting tool.
I know Google Translate, it is a very useful tool. But today I searched in Google for "querying pronunciation" (my mother tongue is Brazilian Portuguese, and I'm improving my English).
If you search for "<anything> pronunciation", Google will show a box where you can listen the word, and while listening you will see lip/tongue movements, you can listen also in slow motion, and the best feature I see: a "Practice" button. Clicking, it will record your voice speaking the word and it will say if you said correctly, and if not, it will give clues like "it looks you said xxx instead" or "Good Job".
I want to ask what you think about this tool. Is it suggesting things correctly? Is it an ok tool to help on listening?
