Vowel Sounds

These minimal pair activities focus on vowel sounds that are often confusing for English learners, such as /æ/ vs /e/ or /ɘʊ/ vs /aʊ/. Listening and speaking exercises help build both recognition and pronunciation skills.

Consonant Sounds

These minimal pair activities focus on consonant sounds that English learners often find difficult to distinguish, such as /b/ vs /v/ or /s/ vs /ʃ/. Through targeted listening and speaking exercises, learners can improve their ability to hear and produce subtle differences in English consonants.
