SOUND PRONUNCIATION COMPARING METHOD IN SOUND SIGNAL REPRODUCING APPARATUS

A pronunciation comparison method permits a user to directly and repeatedly compare the user's own sound with sound which is reproduced from a recording medium. The sound signal which is reproduced from a recording medium, as well as the user's own sound signal, in attempt to emulate the reproduced sound, are both recorded in a sound storage medium. Then the reproduced sound and user sound are output sequentially from the storage medium via a speaker so that the user may directly compare the two sounds. The sequential outputting of the reproduced sound and user sound may be repeated any number of times, the number of repetitions being selected by the user.
