French (France)

French minimal pairs

French keeps apart sounds that most languages merge: tu and tout, vent and vont, poisson and poison. Some pairs even carry the grammar, like le and les for singular and plural, or bon and bonne for masculine and feminine. Pick the pair you mix up, say each pair out loud, and Tono shows you whether both words came out right.
