I always used forvo.com for this kind of thing.

Edit: It's a "pronunciation dictionary". Ppl just record how they say words and indicate their geography. Super useful for languages like English where there are a lot of regional varieties. And you can contribute too to the dictionary of your language. :)

I'm no affiliated w/ it btw, just really love this website, have been using it for years.

Is the American pronunciation of "communal" correct there? https://forvo.com/search/communal/en_usa/

[wyclif]

No, this is wrong. It sounds like it's being mispronounced by a native German speaker. There is no hard initial vowel sound; the first syllable is not emphasized like that. There are three syllables in the word: com-mun-al and it's pronounced "kəˈmyo͞on(ə)l,ˈkämyənəl/" so the stress is on the second, not the first syllable.

[jakubp]

She does put the stress on the second syllable.

Try rural and epoch

(vs https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/rural and https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/epoch)

[kwoff]

No, it doesn't even sound like an American.. while the two downvoted ones do sound "correct".

[ggggtez]

Nope, the other one is right: https://forvo.com/search/communal/en_other/

Not in my experience.
