Kurztext · Klaro original Listen, say, compare
Choose one pair. Listen to a trusted model, then say both words slowly. Put each word in a short sentence. Record yourself and compare. If the contrast is still unclear, practise it again before increasing your speed.
Selbstkontrolle Read once, hide the paragraph and answer. Then check the key. This is a practice activity, not a CEFR assessment.

Transferaufgabe
Choose four drill rows. Listen, record both words in a sentence and compare with the source. Repeat only the unclear contrast.
Merkblatt Use Could I…? / Could you…? for a polite request. Sorry? can ask for repetition, but the longer phrase is clearer for a learner. UK bill / takeaway / single ticket may be check / takeout / one-way ticket in US usage. Understand both; keep your own wording consistent. Clear speech matters more than copying a particular accent.
Keep the model voice consistent within one drill. Valid regional sound patterns are not errors. Use the partner-understands-the-word test before increasing speed.
