The sounds of English


English phonetic symbols - BBC Learning English website
If you are interested in learning the phonetic symbols of the International Phonetic Alphabet that English language has,  the BBC Learning English webside provides a good chart that summarizes them and that can be downloadable in a pdf version.

When trying to learn the sounds it is always a good idea to have a good chart with all the sounds.

However, this website provides many other useful sections such as an introduction, the sounds of English, features of English, quizzes and programmes. Most of the texts and audio files can be downloaded so that you can continue your study work off line.

The sounds of English section concentrates on those which can be confused by speakers of other languages.

In sum, this is an excellent site to improve one's English.
