How to train (quick guide)
- Read Set 1 once quietly.
- Say all reps out loud.
- Do sets in order.
- Repeat the whole exercise 2 times.
🏋️ Minimal Pair Curls – Reps: 4×6
Build muscle memory by training sounds that natives never confuse.
🧠 Warm-Up (1 min)
Say slowly, exaggerate the contrast:
- ship → sheep
- bit → beat
- full → fool
- bat / pat
- zip / sip
- bag / back
- vine / fine
Feel mouth shape, not speed.
Set 2 – Voiced vs Unvoiced
Touch your throat.
Buzz = voiced. No buzz = unvoiced.
🔁 Accessory Drill (Fast Burn)
Say fast but clean — 3 rounds:
bit–beat–bit–beat
cap–cab–cap–cab
If clarity drops, slow down.
Progress cue:
When natives stop asking “Do you mean…?” — your curls are paying off.
