What you *really* want is an IPA page where you can *hear* what it sounds
like:
        http://www.ling.hf.ntnu.no/ipa/full/

You don't want English examples, because English pronunciation is very
different depending on which region you're in, and is therefore not a
reliable reference of IPA sounds.
