This initial m/b auditory discrimination deck will give your adult ESL students tons of listening practice with 96 minimal pairs for those tricky /m/ vs. /b/ sounds. If your students are mispronouncing words with /m/ and /b/, it might be because they cannot hear the difference. They need practice. With this deck, students will practice auditory discrimination when they hear a word with either an /m/ or /b/ sound and then select the SOUND they heard from the given minimal pair. Please note that I have this same deck (#2) available in a more challenging version for students who are reading. In that deck, they hear the same words, but they select the WORD they heard. Like all my decks, I made this deck with adult students in mind. As such, this deck will not appeal to children. It is meant for high school age and older. I based this deck on a worksheet activity from my M B Minimal Pairs for Adult ESL resource (pdf) sold in my TpT store.

Thanks to the allergy medicine that permitted me to get my voice back despite all efforts of local pollen.
