PROFT · SOUND GYM · MINIMAL PAIRS TRAINING

Train your ear.
Say every word right.

Sheep or ship, very or berry, light or right: in English, one sound changes the word. Sound Gym trains your ear and your voice with the minimal pairs that Spanish speakers mix up most.

HOW A WORKOUT WORKS

Every unit is a complete workout

Each section opens the next. Mark each activity as complete and your progress is saved.

1

Learn the contrast

How each sound is made, a Spanish speaker alert and examples with audio.

2

Train your ear

Which word?, odd one out, and real sentences where one sound changes the meaning.

3

Speak

The minimal pairs lab with voice recognition: the app tells you which word it heard.

4

Use it

Pairs in context and a short dialogue to shadow with the marks.

5

Play

Sound order, memory, a 45-second speed round and the sound sorter.

6

Prove it

Record and compare, read and pronounce, and a final quiz to pass the unit.

THE PROGRAM

12 units, every sound that matters

Start with the vowels or go straight to the sounds you mix up most.
