I found this text to speech generator, and it has a French version too. it is pretty useful if you want to hear how a word should sound.

i attached an example that says 'Alizee Jacotey or Lili'. This is pretty useful if you are trying to learn French.

Nice! Took me a while to understand that she was saying "or Lili" at the end.

I already knew this one:

Choose French (duh), copy-paste the paragraph below and listen: :D

J'en ai marre de ceux qui pleurent.
Qui ne roulent qu'à deux à l'heure,
Qui se lamentent et qui s'fixent
Sur l'idée d'une idée fixe
J'en ai marre de ceux qui râlent.
Des extrêmistes à deux balles,
Qui voient la vie tout en noir
Qui m'expédient dans l'cafard
J'en ai marre de la grande soeur

(WHY DOES IT SAY MESSAGE TOO SHORT)

To prevent people from spamming. It's a hassle, but I think it's actually a good feature. Otherwise I know I'd have a ton of posts that just would say "haha" or "yeah" or "yo momma!" or something like that.
