Hear it the way people actually say it.

Type any English word or phrase. YouTongue plays the YouTube moments where people say it in ordinary conversation — captioned and cued to the exact second.

Try a word that trips people up

Spelled one way, said another

How it works

  1. We index the captions of Creative Commons videos, sentence by sentence.
  2. Your query is matched against those sentences as a whole phrase, not loose words.
  3. The official YouTube player opens on the matching second — nothing is re-hosted, nothing is cut out, and the channel keeps its view.

Everyday speech only: vlogs, interviews, cooking, gaming, local news. Pronunciation lessons are deliberately excluded — a word said slowly for teaching is not how it sounds in a sentence.
