Pronunciation practice - excellent :-)))

This is a great website for pronunciation practice.  You just click on the sound and repeat!  Very important!!  I recommend this for everyone.  You don't need to feel embarrassed, you can practice in private where nobody can hear you all the sounds you find difficult!
