English minimal pairs

A minimal pair is two words that differ by a single sound: ship and sheep, light and right. Saying them one after the other is the fastest way to train your ear and your mouth at the same time. Pick the pair of sounds you mix up, say each pair out loud, and Tono shows you whether both words came out right.
