Learning Pronunciation

     http://www.uiowa.edu/~acadtech/phonetics/english/frameset.html
  This website is a really good source for beginners to learn and practice their pronunciations in English, Germany and Spanish. It offers the names of different phonetic symbols for teachers (the names will be too abstract for beginning language learners). For learners, it offers gif pictures of the movement of the tongue and the the shape of the mouth, the sound and the example words. By clicking the bottom, learners can have a clear picture of how the tongue moves and how to shape your lips to make the sound. 
  Learning pronunciation can not only rely on the listening of the sound and imitate. Learners should know where their tongues should go and move and how to shape their mouths before they can make a right and clear sound. 
  There are many second language learners will be influenced by their first language pronunciation. For example, some Chinese students from North may mix the pronunciation of /w/ and /v/, and some Japanese students may find it's hard to distinguish /l/ from /r/. Consideration this situation, it becomes more important for them to have these gif pictures to help them to pronounce. 
  This is a very useful website and I surely will use it in my future teaching of the beginning pronunciation.
