I checked what you'd entered against the Cambridge Pronouncing Dictionary. It looked fine except for the pronunciation of the "s", which didn't match my own experience (hence I looked it up). There are varous IPA tables and guides, but the easiest to find is the one you can get to by clicking "IPA" on the ecclesia page. The {{IPA}} template automatically adds this link so that users can look up unfamiliar phonetic symbols. The Wikipedia article on the International Phonetic Alphabet has more, but covers more than just English, so there is a lot of information not directly useful unless you work in odd languages.
If you have a knowledge of Ancient Greek, you might also look at Wiktionary:About Ancient Greek, which also has a pronunciation guide for that language, and there is also a Wiktionary:About Latin that explains formatting for Latin entries. --EncycloPetey 20:28, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
