Similar English Vowels? Here’s How To NOT Get Confused! [Minimal Pairs Guide]

Hadar you are a gifted teacher. I use what I learn from you to better teach my Native English dyslexic learners. Sound production explained via minimal pairs was never introduced to me in any of my courses for teaching reading. So thankful for your perspective and love the Meryl Strip story.

Wow. Powerful lesson. With my french speaking influence i have serious vowels confusing problems. Thank God for the way you put it, I understand that all I need t is to work hard on it. Sweet cheers Coach. You're a angel.

Wow.. This lesson was amazing. I’ve been struggling with words “want” and “won’t” . So, I almost always use the base form “will not”.. but I’ll practice more. Thank you a lot!☺️

Finally, I found the teacher I needed! I really like your charisma, your way of explaining! Thank you for your time, for your dedication to teaching and helping others. Pronounce the vowels it works, but “tt”, no, I can’t repeat it, no matter how hard I try🤭

I'm basically a native bilingual in English & Spanish so idk why I'm watching this but it was a great video!! Your face is very expressive, you do a great job of enunciating, slowly demonstrating even with your hands so that the viewer can get a solid sense of what you mean—and your IPA representations were spot on! If I were to be super nitpicky I would say that the schwa sound is not the same sound as in cup, though that vowel and schwa are effectively merged in american english, the sound in cup is closer to [ɐ] than to [ə] For that sound think [wɑɾɚ] vs [wɑɾɐ] or Ros[ɐ]'s vs ros[ə]s Your story in the intro reminded me of this time I was probably like 5, I pronounced mosquito in a very anglicized way, I nativized the word as /məskɪtow/ my family never let me live it down lol anyway keep up the good work!

The best course to learn the way to pronouce these sounds. Thank you so much for this help!

I was searching for the same type of lessons for a long time. Thank you Hedar. It's really helpful.

I really canèt thank you enough for this amazing extraordinary video! You just put your finger on the spots that i have been struggling in my life!

What a great video, thank you for drawing your attention to gave out this relevant video because there’re some pinpoint that this video contained and thank you for that, really appreciate for it.

Thank you Hadar! You are amazing teacher! God bless you!

That lesson was outstanding, thank you, Hadar. As a Brazilian and Portuguese speaker, it is easier to think of the "i" in Ship as "ê" (with that little hat on it) and the "ee" in Sheep as our "i". Learning a second language made me fall in love with our diacritics 😅.

The most useful lesson ever about vowels!!

It's really an extremely great class. Thak you so much classes like that and, be sure you are helping so many people that for some reasons can't afford to join an English course.

An unbelievable lesson, awesome, thanks for your dedication.

Thank you !! excellent session and its extremely useful

It's a very useful lesson. Thank you, teacher Hadar.

This is a very helpful video! Thank you so much! My first language is Spanish and this is helping me a lot. My main struggle is with the sheep-ship and pool-pull sounds.

This is difficult at the beginning, but after practicing and listening more, you'll be able to hear the difference. Thanks a lot for this class

I love you. You have taught me a lot. I appreciate what you do.

Very insightful and powerful lessons. Thank you Hadar
