I just started wondering if we could creare a section with minimal pairs recordings on our forum since getting to know sounds of your TL is a crucial element of its aquisition.

Maybe a thread in the resources section. That said if for whatever reason you're having trouble finding the results you want in looking up minimal pairs on the internet (using the phrase "minimal pair") it could be because some of the words you've listed aren't actually minimal pairs. Minimal pairs only differ in one phoneme not multiple. This isn't necessarily important for your studies but it could make a difference in googling.


Thanks for your reply. I just opened a thread with poll about this matter here:

Sorry for disturbing but I missed two minimal pairs. Could you add them, please? :)

Ok, I cut this into pieces and added a text file with a sounds of Grerman classification and these minimal pairs.
If someone need it they can download it here:
