This is a well known website from the BBC organization. As we have seen in class, it is really useful for both students and teachers. There are four main categories. The first one is called "Sounds of English", where we can learn about the symbols for writing the sounds thanks to the videos (which show how to pronounce them) and the activities (to practice identifying the difference between sounds which may sound similar). The second one is "Features of English", where we can find interactive and downloadable exercises and the third one is about interactive "Quizzes" about English pronunciation. The last category is "Programmes", where there are some downloadable radio programmes from 2005 on the topic of pronunciation.

I think this page is useful to practice pronunciation (listening and speaking). It's for the American English but I believe it can help in some ocasions to make our students distinguish different words that sound similar.

This is a very useful website to practise English phonetics and pronunciation. It is from Cambridge English Online and it is very visual and easy to use. It's a good website for both students and teachers (maybe students above 12 years old) because there are different levels of difficulty in each activity. The site has a lot of games related with English phonetics, for example: the hangman, the odd phon'out, puzzles, etc. As well as, it also provides useful resources for teachers as flashcards, quizzes or videos.

Here there is another website to practise English pronunciation (in this case American). It is a very complete site in which there are six main categories to choose depending on what you want to work: videos, lessons, assessment, minimal pairs, podcasts and products. With these resources you can learn online and at your own pace how to speak proper English. If you join in, you will have access to hundreds of pronunciation lessons and thousands of resources: playable audio files, true voice recording and feedback systems, study recommendations, tests and quizzes, etc.

Shiporsheep.com is an useful page that teaches British English pronunciation with minimal pairs, providing free online pronunciation and elocution lessons for young or beginner learners.
