Hi Noemilima
I can reccomend you quite a decent coursebook to practise phonetics
author: Ann Baker Sheep or Ship (new edition)
intermediate level
http://books.google.pl/books?id=ZC-kByfEiDQC&printsec=frontcover&dq=Ann+Baker+ship+or+sheep&source=bl&ots=kVv4tZSqIa&sig=N2T1eRhmPFTGMhzHRvMbQ66_mo8&hl=pl&ei=NqGaS_j2NpGImgOpuaCoDg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=7&ved=0CCEQ6AEwBg#v=onepage&q=&f=false
In my opinion, nothing improves photenics and phonemic awareness better than recording short texts.
You just need sombody qualified who may check your recorded mp3.
Best wishes!

God - I hated phonetics on my DELTA!
I suggest a good advanced learner �s dictionary as a starting point. Also, I laminated the phonemic chart and put it everywhere in my flat - even the toilet! I also made little cards with terminology and examples on to revise - I colour coded and everything!

I think that it is also worth considering your L1 when you think about phonetics.
I mean learners tend to make mistakes because they tranfer L1 phonetics to English.
For example, Polish people have tendency to final devoicing.
So they often say dog =/dok/, not /dog/
they say /swimink/ instead of /swimin/
We have also only one /i/ sound in Polish, so Ls tend to pronounce:
e.g sick=seek identically, not bothering if there �s short or long /i/ sound.
Think of your own language, try to point differences. This should also help. Building up awareness is a big step forward :)

I am working on something it that area. Stay posted ;o) I had to take a phonetics exam at university and I have to say I like it. Check my phonetic alphabet ball dice game also, it would be a starting point.
