I'm wondering if anyone knows where I could find a list of Czech minimal pairs? Any suggestions or ideas would be
appreciated, thanks! :-)

Thanks. I guess there are far too many such pairs in Czech to be put in a list.

The ones I'm most interested in are the ones with phonemes that are not in English. For example: rada and řada. Or,
here's an example I found on Wikipedia: ržát /rʒaːt/, which is pronounced differently from řád /r̝aːt/.
When I google minimal pairs in English, I find a fair number of examples, but when I google minimální pár, I don't
come up with much. Maybe this just doesn't exist online for Czech, but if anyone has any ideas or suggestions,
please let me know.

I'm not exactly an active participant here and just try to update at least my log once in while. Sorry for that, it's due to a lack of time. However, I had a look at the logs of some other Kofola team members and saw that quite a few of them haven't been updated for up to several months. So I'd like to ask who of the team members is still here and actively learning Czech. Pure curiosity :-).
