This is a chart of the main phonemes (sounds) used in American English. I omitted a few vowels and diphthongs from the IPA that I don't think most teachers can hear the difference, much less students of ESOL. There is a difference in opinion on how many phonemes are used in American English. I am following the guidelines of most books and courses on phonetics in the USA.
