• Why do you think minimal pairs are important?

I think that minimal pairs are importan for the correct pronunciation of words, also is important when we talk with other people because if we don`t pronounce in the correct way all the phonemes the other people may understand to us a different thing that we say. Is important for the meaning and concordance of the phrases and sentences.
