Are you learning Spanish? Are you overwhelmed by Spanish’s large number of sounds? You’re not alone. Spanish has tons of sounds that are only slightly different, which is a huge problem for learners. How can you learn to hear the difference between “limito” and “limitó?” Or what about “huraño” and “uranio??” Our Spanish Minimal Pairs Trainer is specially built to help you tackle this difficult problem! The trainer carefully shows you dozens of sounds in Spanish when compared to another similar sound, training your active listening skills. Whether you’re a beginner or intermediate learner, you’ll find this deck useful!

This deck is most useful after you’ve already been learning for a little while. Especially if you find yourself struggling to hear the difference between very similar words. We built this deck specifically with more intermediate learners in mind, which is why there are no sentence translations, but a learner of every level can find it useful.
Mexican Spanish. The speaker, @burdovisual, natively speaks a dialect from Mexico.
Not all the sounds are included. We only included sounds and sound pairs that cause learners trouble when learning to differentiate the sounds. Most of the sounds are covered, however.

There are some online if you search for “Spanish Minimal Pairs Training,” but they’re of varying quality. We were unhappy with the options available, especially since they’re not downloadable so that you can use the trainer in a way that works best for you. As far as we know, this is the only Anki deck with native audio for learning minimal pairs in Spanish.
Congrats! This is a single (but awesome) step in your Spanish reading journey. Now you have to go listen to the language. A lot. We recommend reading and listening at the same time so that you are more aware of spellings AND pronunciation.
We also recommend that you continue to practice with the minimal pairs deck, making sure the information is fresh in your mind. Or, if you notice that a few of the pairs still give you trouble, review them or seek out more minimal pairs to practice with.
