Pronunciation
 
Hello friends.  Here are three sites for pronunciation.  The first one has videos you can watch and sounds you can listen too.  The second site has some word cards and a sound game.  The third site is a Pronunciation Booklet from Okanogan University.

Awhile ago somebody gave me a great tip on some pronunciation cards.  I forgot to copy the link and I cannot find it anymore (in the forum).  The cards had a "moving mouth" picture on each card.  Can somebody send me that link again?  I would really appreciate it.

Hi Pinky,
Thank you very much for sharing this useful sites but revise the third one because it leads to the second site you have posted. Another interesting site for pronunciation is http://cambridgeenglishonline.com/Phonetics_Focus/ for children or teenagers.
Thanks a lot for your contribution!!!
Have a nice weekend!

Thanks. I don�t know how that happened.  Here is my third try.  My computer has not been working properly lately.

Thank you for the neat website you mentioned.  Unfortunately, I do not agree with the way they pronounce certain letters.  For example, I would say that the sound of M is mm.  On that website they say "muh".  They have added a short u sound. The same is true for K (kuh), F (fuh), V (vuh) and G (guh)to name a few.  I know people used to teach sounds that way, but it causes many learners to think that a letter has 2 sounds instead of 1.  Sorry.  Perhaps people still teach this way.  But I think it is confusing.
