I know it’s a tall order, but maybe you could add podcasts of each of the vocabulary items. Just a 5 second clip pronouncing the word once would be a huge help to newbies.
Just wondering what your background is? Born and raised in Taiwan? Also, do you have a link to what kind of phonetic system you are using for these, so we know how to pronounce them since you do not provide audio clips?
