    This paper describes the demonstration of the DEMOSTHENES prototype, an interactive tool for the correction of foreign language learners´ pronunciation. After briefly describing the learners´ profile and the application language, the authors expose the basic modules that lead to the final prototype. Finally, the tool is described as it appears in its demonstration version
