USING MINIMALPAIRS
A clear understanding.
Updated October 4, 2026
The listening service
MinimalPairs provides language-listening practice. Examples are curated with stated dialects and references. Errors can occur. Practice scores describe activity in these exercises and are not language certifications or clinical assessments.
Existing purchases
Existing lifetime purchases will be honored according to the access promised at purchase, including current and future language trainers where included. This service does not replace or narrow those purchased rights. A subscription is not required to buy the same access again.
Price and billing
The listening diagnostic and its overall score, plus the first three exercises per language, are free and require no card. New purchases offer $7 USD per month or $29 USD once for lifetime access. Monthly includes all available exercises and languages while subscribed. Lifetime includes all current courses and improvements to those courses; it does not promise every future separate product. Payment is collected at checkout; there is no timed trial. Monthly membership renews until canceled. Cancel monthly renewal through your account’s billing settings before your next charge; access continues through the paid period. Lifetime is a one-time payment with no renewal. Cancellation does not automatically issue a refund. Existing paid subscription terms, including annual subscriptions, and existing lifetime coverage are preserved. Your rights under applicable consumer law remain in effect.
Use the service respectfully
You may use the exercises for your own learning and ordinary classroom demonstrations. Do not interfere with the service, impersonate another customer or try to obtain someone else's account or purchase access. References remain the property of their respective owners; a reference link does not grant rights to reproduce their material.
