I have just come across this intriguing site.
It enables the viewer to not only hear the sounds but includes a video
of how the sound is made. It seems useful for learners but I wonder how
easy or otherwise it is for the to transfer the video to their own
production in practice.

In the previous posting, I referred to teaching a group of teachers who are preparing to teach through English. In today's class, there was an interesting incident that made me think about prioritisiation in terms of pronunciation and lexis. One student used the word still but it sounded to me very similar to steel. After some clarification, we established the meaning intended but we discussed whether it might often be best for him to avoid the word still and use synonyms like static or stationary.
