Learn English Properly With Minimal Pairs for Pronunciation Practice

Learn English Properly With Minimal Pairs for Pronunciation Practice

Some group members have requested pronunciation practice, and I would like to offer some exercises for all to practice. Below are some minimal pairs – these are carefully chosen pairs that sound almost the same. These pairs have one or more sounds that are exactly the same and one sound that is totally different. Practice saying these ten or fifteen times until you feel that you have mastered the different sounds. Following the minimal pairs there are sentences using the words. Practice those the same way.

coat-coot
coat-cot
The coat is on the cot.
The coot ha a coat.
The coat and the coot are on the cot.
