Was looking around online for IPA info and saw this cool looking app for apple phones, ipad, etc.

It's the same as flash cards with IPA symbols and example words. $2.99 but thats almost worth not having to make a ton of handwritten cards. :)

Interesting article

The following link is to an article discussing the ways in which experts in phonetics have different brain structures from lay people.  As we begin to study phonetics ourselves, I thought this might motivate us to concentrate REALLY hard.  :)
