One of my hobbies throughout my adult life has been singing, and most of it has been in other languages. That becomes a bit tricky if you never learned to speak any of them, and that is where Moriarty comes to the rescue. He helps you learn the correct pronunciation for the most popular of the foreign languages. It won't make you the world's foremost authority, but you won't embarrass yourself.
