Pronunciation Practice -Minimal Pairs

Ship or sheep is a site that allows us to practise our pronunciation by focusing on the discrimination of pairs of sounds.

There are 29 different minimal pairs for students to practise, mainly vowels and diphthongs, but there are also a few minimal pairs of consonants.

The vocabulary is illustrated through pictures, and we only have to roll the mouse over a word to listen to it. At the end of all the contrasting words, there is a sentence in which the sounds appear in context.

Ship or sheep is a good site to improve our English pronunciation and get to know about phonetics.
