Minimal Pairs: Chair vs Share
/tʃ/ vs /ʃ/CH and SH are nearly twins — one tiny stop is the only difference. Listen to real audio and choose which word you hear.
Listen to the pairs
Tap 🔊 to hear each word. Both words of a pair play in the same voice — and after you have heard both, the pair switches to a second American English voice. Tap 🌐 to see the word in your language.
In each pair: left word = /tʃ/ (ch as in chair), right word = /ʃ/ (sh as in share).
Listening quiz
You will hear one word from each pair — choose which one you heard. Missed words come back until you get every one right.
