It shows you exactly the tongue position in a diagram with movement, sound and explanation.
It is really neat!

r > the base of the tongue is touching the molars, bends down, then the tip flexes up w/o touching the hard palate

l > tip of tongue touches alveolar ridge or front teeth

p&f > tongue lays flat at bottum of mouth

sh > tongue simultaneously touches palate and while laying flat tongue touches inferior alveolar ridge
