Wiktionary is also helpful. The articles frequently come with phonetic notation(s) and an audio sample. For example: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/loose enPR: loo=CD=9Es, IPA: /lu=CB=90s/ http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/lose enPR: lo=CD=9Eoz, IPA: /lu=CB=90z/ ^ ^ | | I'd say these are helpful; in this case even without audio samples (although the articles in question have them too). Other favorites of mine are "close" (as in, shut the door) vs. "close" (as in, is your house near) -- the two etimologies incur different pronounciations: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/close#Pronunciation klo=CA=8Az http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/close#Pronunciation_2 kl=C9=99=CA=8As ^ | (minimally these consonants are accessible to foreigners) Laszlo
