Is this a good site for pronunciation?

The bottom of the site has tool that lets you hear any syllables with the tone.

I thought this was a great find at the time since tracking down individual sounds otherwise would be very hard, but want some input on if everyone thinks its a good guide to use. Sometimes its hard to hear the difference between different pinyin but alike in sound syllables.

I normally have a pretty good ear but for example I can barely figure out the sound difference from the recordings for the [shi] and [chi] which are used for the verbs [exist]& [eat] .. I can hear the difference on pimsleur tapes pretty well so want to double check the site.

Well done! And it is actually worse than you can hear/tell at the moment (I already posted a few comments about what's wrong with the pronunciation on that site, if you care to search). Meanwhile, try this site instead:

Edit: I've found the thread with comments concerning the site you mentioned:

Thanks I'm really glad I asked now.

Using the new site I can hear the differences quite clearly.

As a sidenote though I would agree with a small complaint one person had in the thread regarding how the layout could be a little better. Still very usable though even without everything done in flash ;)
