That website gave me a headache in under 30 seconds, lol. I've come across it a few times in the past in my web searches and always moved on very quickly.
His phonetic descriptions of how to pronounce words were frightening - including the Indonesian examples he gave. Seriously... terry-muck hussy? That's some scary stuff, lol. I can just imagine some aussie coming along with a broad accent and saying "Terry-muck hussy" to some poor Balinese person and them not having a clue what was going on. And imagine someone from the north of England trying that one? "Terry-mook hoosy", lol. It just gets worse.
Kinda hard to type a phonetic explanation when you don't say what accent you're speaking with. An american would give a different description to an Aussie and a Brit would be different again etc.
