A few weeks ago I wrote a little documents designed to help new linguists learn about sounds and phonetics. The pdf can be found here:

If it's wrong, tell me and I'll fix it. Please don't take credit for my work.

Beginner's Guide to Phonetics

Re: Beginner's Guide to Phonetics
I think the main problem at the moment fairly inconsistent mix of IPA, X-SAMPA and, for example, the representation of /y/ as /ü/ (which in IPA is close rounded vowel pronounced between /ʉ/ and /u/).
Also, as far as I'm aware, vowels, in terms of height, are termed (mving downwards) high, near-high, high-mid, mid, low-mid, near-low and low, with another system replacing "high" and "low" with "close" and "open" respectively. I've never seen a system like high-open, high low, mid-close, mid-open, low-close and low-open, but that could just be me

You can tell the same lie a thousand times,
But it never gets any more true,
So close your eyes once more and once more believe
That they all still believe in you.
Just one time.
