Default I need pronunciation diagrams

Hello,
does anyone know any good sites that have clear pronunciation diagrams to show how the inside of the mouth looks when pronouncing. I'm teaching in Japan and the same old L and R problems keep arising and I'm finding it difficult to correct. Ls are ok but Rs are a nightmare. Help!

Welcome, naikara.

Try here: sounds of English

Here's a great tongue twister:

Lucy likes rice and Rory (a frog) likes lice.
