Hej Italkers!
I am trying to train my ear to distinguish different Swedish sounds and in order to do that, I would like test myself on words that are the same except on one sound (which should be quite similar, to the foreign ear).
To make it more clear, I am looking for pairs like the next ones:
sil/sill
syl/syll
mål/moll
hel/häl
...
Can you come up with other pairs? The more the better! :D
Thank you a lot :)
