minimal pairs like warn/warm with rn or rm at the end
I am looking for some minimal pairs like warn/warm, they only differ by one phoneme at the end
I found that is difficult for me to produce m at the end of a sentence or word because in spanish words only finish on n, and that challenge is even bigger when the word is preceded by a r sound as in the words: warm or perform, I know that minimal pairs are very helpful to train my pronunciation between similar sounds so if you know more mimal pairs like warn/warm it would be greatly appreciated
thanks.

Hi Diego
You could try looking at different 'pairs'. For example 'war' and 'warm', and then really saying it slowly "w...ar....m", the "war...m" - making the 'm' just as you do at the beginning of 'man'. In time you will be able to say it quicker and quicker, so that nobody hears the gap between 'war' and 'm'.
For 'warn' you can do the same with 'war''/'warn'.
Or even 'wore'/ 'worn' since they are the same sounds anyway.
Does this help?
