Whoever wrote the information for that website has poor English. I sure wouldn't trust whatever their pronunciation might be like.

Hi, Lorikeet! Of course. I'm not native english. I'm russian and my teacher was russian.
I have the information about http://www.torono.info/esl from russian website http://www.vamlessons.boom.ru. Please, trust me, I'm not terrorist.

Geez, I didn't say anything about terrorists; just about English. I wouldn't want to learn pronunciation from a website where the people can't write proper English.

I`m sorry,Lorikeet. I misunderstand you. So, throw out the offer
from http://www.torono.info/esl and what next? How to teach adults pronunciation?

Because adults can't hear some of the sounds so that they can't reproduce them. It will be very helpful for them to use visual clues like phonics to recall the correct pronunciation. Plus, phonics has been used by American Children to help them read English words out loud. You can Google on using phonics to teach pronunciation. I am sure that you will get many good information.
