English pronunciation exercises

[V]

http://www.manythings.org/pp/ is a nice site for minimal pairs.

These pronunciation exercises don't help to acquire a native-like accent.
One should focus on syllabification of English, how stress changes the
vowel quality, phonological processes, the difference between stress and
pitch accent, various pitch accents in AmE (nuclear tones of British
school), etc.
