I’m a coordinator in the Adult Literacy Program of the Los Angeles Public Library. Now that we have many adult learners from other cultures in our program, our volunteer tutors need to be able to explain (and understand themselves) how English sounds are formed. In addition to the materials we normally provide them, I am delighted to refer them to your informative site. The visual representation will be especially useful.
