I'd love to learn phonetics, but with written materials like this it feels like learning to ride a bike by reading a book. I'm still at a loss with regards to how to actually make the sound. Without a teacher, I don't think I even realize my own mistakes.

How did you learn to physically make the sound? How much time did you spend practicing daily?

Thanks so much for the advice. I too hope to do stand up one day.
