Today, I want to introduce a good English learning website to my reader.
http://www2.scu.edu.tw/foreign/english/sound/index.htm Click and Point.
It is emphasize on pronouncing. Approximately, it content of five parts. That is pronounce of a vowel, introduction of intonation, introduction of linking, introduction of accent and introduction of a pause at intonation. Especially, it is take more attention on pronounce of a vowel.

In the vowel part, there are four little part. That is Tongue Position, vowel Space, Common Error and Exercise. There are a lot of pictures. They are talking about how to pronounce and which part you have to use in your mouth. And the vowel part is the sound of each vowel. After see those picture and listen to those sound-recording, you will correct pronouncing. Make some exercise with mirror, and you can pronounce confidently next time.

After you pick up how to pronounce a vowel, there are some common errors you must to note. Like the different extension of tongue will lead to error pronounce. If you want to speak English fluently, you have to notice the details. Finally, you can make some exercise. Those exercises will help you to distinguish the vowel which is similar. Like “sleep” and “slip” is too similar to discriminate for Taiwanese. You should practice a lot.

When you really work hard to those exercises, I think you are almost a good English speaker. All you are lack is the feeling of a language. There are the introduction of intonation, linking, accent and a pause at intonation. Although there is not mention too much, I think it will have some help. Finally, hope all of you can usually use this website. Good luck.
