Phonetics Flash Animation Project

I ran across this site while I was stumbling through linguistic websites. I think this is a wonderful idea, perhaps because I have benefited from anatomical diagrams before (that's how I learned to roll my R). Anyhow, below is the "about" section of their site. Check it out:

This site contains animated libraries of the phonetic sounds of English, German, and Spanish. Available for each consonant and vowel is an animated articulatory diagram, a step-by-step description, and video-audio of the sound spoken in context. It is intended for students of phonetics, linguistics, and foreign language. There is also an interactive diagram of the articulatory anatomy.

This project was a collaborative effort of the Departments of Spanish and Portuguese, German, Speech Pathology and Audiology, and Academic Technologies at The University of Iowa.
