1. karchung, Phonetics URLs

	As the new semester draws ever nearer, I've found myself
scouring the Net for resources to use in my intro to phonetics
course.

	What I discovered was nothing short of mindboggling. I still
find it hard to fathom that so many really outstanding phonetics
resources are out there just for the point-and-clicking. I feel
immense *gratitude* to all the people and organizations who are
freely sharing their treasures with the rest of the world. Thank
you!!! What a remarkable service you are doing the Internet and
linguistics communities!

	I then thought the least I could do is share my findings with
others who might be interested. Maybe the following list of URLs
can save you a few hours of search engine work (I worked on this
some *days*! Thanks also to Google.com!). If you are at all into
phonetics, and have a look at some of these, I cannot help but
think that you will be amazed too - and perhaps save yourself a
bit of class prep time. Many of the URLs below contain further
links you may find useful.

	Oh, and if you have some of your own good links not listed here,
please post them over LINGUIST, or write to me and I'll
summarize.
 
	Happy clicking!
