A HOORAY! FOR Online PHONETICS !!

As seen in class, phonetics are a great tool to improve your pronunciation
Here is the best and biggest Web to improve your English speech:





Why don´t you start exploring on your own and give me some feedback as comments to this post?
This Web Site explores 9 different varieties : Scottish, Australian...
Some of the practice they offer includes read dictionary, minimal pairs, songs, read aloud stories, controversial words...
                                                                 
Don´t forget to tell me if you like their special "instant Sound" software: I find it amazing!


Here are the webs we will explore throught Fonetiks.org. You will have two monthly posts here related to them asking you to do an exercise you will later upload to Moodle.
I hope this will help you discover all the possibilities!
