WHAT ARE THE ITALIAN MINIMAL PAIRS PRONUNCIATION FLASHCARDS?

The “Italian Minimal Pairs Examples Flashcards for Anki” are a specially designed pronunciation flashcard deck for Anki, to help you hear, pronounce and memorize the most common Italian minimal pairs. This digital flashcard deck features audio and IPA to reinforce your learning and make them more memorable for you.

Minimal pairs are pairs of Italian words that sound very similar but have just 1 sound that differs between them.

Take for example ‘marzo’ (IPA: /mˈartso/ ) meaning the month of March and ‘marcio’ (IPA: /mˈartʃo/ ) meaning rotten. These 2 words sound very similar but have different meanings.

When learning Italian, it is important to recognize the difference between these Italian minimal pairs to improve your listening and speaking skills.

This is an essential Anki deck for those learning Italian in order to learn pronunciation and improve your listening skills. We recommend learning the Italian alphabet and Italian IPA first before using the Italian minimal pairs deck. This is an exclusive deck only available in the Italian pronunciation bundle.
