You will hear the twenty words of Exercise 2. Each will be one of a pair. You must choose whether the word is one ending with a fortis plosive, or the one ending with a lenis plosive; when you hear the word, say "fortis" if you heard the word on the left, or "lenis" if you heard the word on the right. You will then hear the correct answer and the word will be said again for you to repeat.Example: 'coat'
| Fortis | Lenis | Fortis | Lenis |
| coat [kəut] | code [kəud] | mate [meit] | made [meid] |
| leak [li:k] | league [li:g] | coat [kəut] | code [kəud] |
| hurt [hə:t] | heard [hə:d] | leak [li:k] | league [li:g] |
| bit [bit] | bid [bid] | rope [rəup] | robe [rəub] |
