Minimal Pairs
Demo — 6 pairs
Dè a th' ann am paidhrichean as ìre? / What are minimal pairs?

A minimal pair is two words that differ by only one sound — like bàta (boat) and bata (stick). Training your ear to hear the difference builds the foundation for real listening comprehension in Gàidhlig.

Mar a dh'obraicheas e / How it works

You'll hear a word. Choose which of the two options you heard. If you're wrong, the card comes back before the session ends.

An deuchainn / The demo

This demo has 6 pairs — 3 from Deck 1 (Fiona's voice) and 3 from Deck 2 (Rich's voice). The full version has 96 pairs across both decks, with spaced repetition that schedules your reviews over days and weeks.
