If you want to learn the phomemic chart, this one is a real winner! It has lots of games to play that practise the chart sounds with spellings - some of these are quite fun, for example shooting at the chart symbols to make a given word. There are also flash cards and a chart to print out.
This is largely a 'use at home to practise' kind of site - I like it mainly for my teacher trainees as they need to know the phonemes and often have trouble learning them. It's nice for drawing attention to sound/ spelling differences though, too for learners.
It does have an interactive chart, where you can hover over the phoneme and hear it (with an example word), but apart from that the only sound on it seems to be 'pee-ooww' kind of shooting noises, which is the only criticism I have -it'd be nice to hear the sounds in more of the games. Still - it livens up the fairly tedious task of learning the symbols, and it's been nominated for an ELTon, so it must be good!
