How to use cartoons to practice English pronunciation - JimStroud

A bit oblique, but an interesting use of animation skills to reflect on the pronunciation of words, which illustrates some of the relationships between different vowel sounds. It's a little naïve linguistically: it's only illustrating five vowel sounds for example, when we know there are many more than that; and the example words don't accurately represent the mapping of sounds to mouth images... see if you can explain how, using your phonetic skillz.
