>>13953154> A Course in Phonetics by LadefogedI've heard that's a standard one, good stuff. The problem with that one (if my memory serves) is that it heavily emphasizes English phonetics. Start out by consulting the anatomy of the mouth you have in your textbook, like pic related. Touch the ones you can with your tongue, the teeth, the alveolar ridge, the palate. Wikipedia has a clickable IPA chart:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet_chartFirst, cross-reference the consonant chart's columns and rows with the anatomical diagram and try to make the sounds common to that column/row, checking the sound recordings as you do it. Each sound has a page, and those pages usually have audio examples of certain words which use them. Do the weird ones too like the voiceless uvular affricate, so you can see the range of phonetic segments which can be sounded and get a feel for all of them in your mouth. Then do the vowels, which are somewhat easier because the vowel chart is a simplified cross-section of your oral cavity. With vowels, you can "travel" the vowel chart and see where you are, as can be heard here:
https://voca.ro/1dQ1FCBDm8s5Sounds weird, but it works for me. With consonants and vowels down, you can start to tackle tonality and diacritics for things like voicelessness, tongue position, palatalization, and the like, the things which truly allow you to master what a certain dialect of a language sounds like.
