Have you been in the same so confusing situation that
you wished somebody was there for you to help out?
So let’s correct our accent by starting with the basic of
English sounds.
The use of minimal pairs will help you distinguish minor
differences between English vowel sounds.
6. A. Discussion
Minimal pairs
are pairs of words that have
one phonemic change
between them.
For example: "let" and "lit".
7. Using these pairs will help
you recognize the minor
differences between
English muted vowel sounds
and can greatly help your
pronunciation and
comprehension skills.
