All vowels, some consonants and a number of diphthongs in English have more than one sound (pronunciation). It is for this reason that learning how to communicate intelligibly and effectively in English, for both native and non-native speakers, can be, or should I say is, a trying process. These cards were created to help you know when to distinguish words which start with soft consonants and which sound similar to one another. Words which sound almost the same to one another are called minimal pairs.
