Does anyone know of an online resource where native Arabic speakers learning English can hear the sounds of English pronounced correctly? I imagine something similar to the DVD accompanying Alif Baa for English speakers learning Arabic. Thanks!

Depending on where you live, see if your local public library subscribes to Netlibrary downloadable audiobooks....I know there's a Pimsleur program for ESL for Arabic Speakers and I've accessed through this database. (and it's free for library users) Otherwise, I think you can buy the mp3 from Pimsleur.

Here is an interactive website that includes all the American English phonemes (as well as German and Spanish):

I'm soon to graduate as a speech-language pathologist, so feel free to message me if you have any specific questions about pronunciation.
