    It is quite interesting, since both of them are heard quite similar, but they are written differently. And so it’s confusing, but with the practice of learning.

      That’s exactly why we have to practice these 2 sounds side by side.

      Thank you. I’m glad you find my work useful.

    Personally, I consider it to be a very good one, since in the way in which the different vocal sounds are explained, it makes you understand and distinguish them more clearly. ??

    Thank you, Jonathan.

    For English speakers, as well as learners of English, this sound pair is really important.
