> What pronunciation do you teach?

Standard American English. There are 36 sounds in
Standard American English. There are 10 pure vowel
sounds. In National Unity in Language's simplified
phonemic alphabet, there is a new 'sound' - the -nk,
to keep the -ng company.
For British or other Englishes, the characters for
this phonemic alphabet can be assigned proximate
sounds. This should provide consistency in phonemic
spelling (untested, but intuitively promising).
