Just a correction. /h/ is by no means a "placeless sound." It is created by air friction past the glottis. This is why it is a voiceless glottal fricative sound. You can "try" to make a /h/ anywhere, but it will always originate in the glottis. I understand that you were discussing this in the context of English, but regardless even English linguists will refer to it as other linguists would. This is, of course, assuming that all linguists learned the same things, but that is obviously not the case. I just happened to learn the IPA a certain way on my own and I am "relearning" it in college currently.

These videos have me sounding out the funniest sounds. My roommates probably think I'm insane.

I am greatly encouraged to learn the science of linguistics. Can you recommend a starting book for me so I shall be able to teach myself? Thanks.

+Stephan Williams Hi Stephan, there are a lot of great intro books out there and most cover the same stuff. I'd suggest going to a local used bookstore and getting whatever Intro Linguistics book they have and then go from there. Good luck!

here to fact check on Alveolar sounds- /s/ and /z/ do not touch the roof of the mouth like /t/ and /d/ do.

"Liquid" is not a manner of articulation, it is not a phonetic feature; it doesn't exist in the IPA chart, so it's wrong to say "liquid sound". "Liquid" is a category for phonemes, and it belongs to phonology.

When teaching introductory phonetics-- especially to speakers from multiple dialects of English and Spanish-- I've always found "liquid sound" to be a useful category/term, so I use it. There are distinctions that need to be made for beginners and then there are those that can wait until later, I think.
