Pronunciation-UKC

This site has worksheets, examples, videos and sound.  I haven't gotten all of it to work, but a lot of it does.  Loooks good for teachers and students, though I'm just starting to look it over.

Vowel Sounds

This is a page showing words that go with each vowel sound.  I will be adding an audio of the example words later.  The symbols for the sounds are based on the ones used in Webster's Dictionary.  Once you know these sounds, and the consonant sounds, you can use the dictionary to learn the pronounciation of many words.
