Great intro to Phonetics

We used this book in my phonetics class and I have to say that this is the book that made me love Phonetics and language all together. It was a very easy book to follow. The drawings included in the book are very useful. I would definitely recommend this book to any speech therapy major or even foreign language teacher.
