I would be pleased to give you that courtesy.

We homeschool at our home and emphasize both linguistics and language 
arts approaches to language.  I downloaded the IPA sounds and have CDs 
that came with some books, but I think this might be an easier 
approach.  Especially for a guy like me who has negative language 
aptitude for language.

Uh, does homeschooling (we teach two of our own kids at home) count as 
teaching phonetics?
