There is a pretty cool IPA website that let's you play the various sounds by clicking on the IPA symbols: http://www.paulmeier.com/ipa/consonants.html and http://www.paulmeier.com/ipa/diphthongs.html
[Thanks Andrea!]
A word of caution: This contains lots of sounds that we didn't talk about (because they are not sounds of English), and in part uses different characters. There are also some differences in how the vowels are represented, because we use a slightly simplified version in class. If this website starts to confuse you, just go back to the example words on the class handouts - that will be the standard for our class.

Two nice and short online pieces on descriptive vs. prescriptive grammars that you might want to look at:
- What is 'correct' language? (Edward Finegan)
- On prescriptivism (Bill Poser)

Here are links to the books I mentioned in class:
O'Grady et al: Contemporary Linguistics: An Introduction.
The fourth edition is ok too (it's the one that you're most likely to find used)
Steven Pinker: The Language Instinct.
