Minimal Pairs with the /f/ and /v/ Consonant Sounds

English learners often have a difficult time discriminating between the voiceless /f/ sound and the voiced /v/ sound.

Both sounds are made touching your top teeth to your bottom lip.

When you say the /v/ sound you should feel a vibration in your throat. The /f/ sound should not cause a vibration.

Choose the minimal word pairs with /f/ and /v/ sounds. Be sure to pronounce each word aloud!
