American English Pronounciation
Hi, I am looking for a site\ book\ videos where I can find for each English letter picture of how it looks in the inside of the mouth, like this, but for every letter in the American English pronounciation, and if the letter consists of a few "steps" (for example, in the word "new" the lips "shrinks" along the articulation), then a series of pictures\ a short video will be shown.

After searching the web a lot, I couldn't find what I want. Do you know of any such a site\ book\ Youtube channel, etc.? David (talk) 06:40, 3 July 2021 (UTC)


 * There is no direct correspondence between the letters used in writing (English orthography) and the phonemes used in speaking (English phonology). So you are looking for a source that shows the situation inside the oral cavity as each phoneme is articulated. The following two YouTube videos show some more phonemes: Introduction to Articulatory Phonetics (Vowels), Introduction to Articulatory Phonetics (Consonants), but they are not organized by phoneme and far from complete. For further searching, I suggest to use the search terms [articulation tongue lips phoneme]. --Lambiam 11:03, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
