This paper is based on the assumption that a successful acquisition of L2 is facilitated when the individual needs of particular students are taken into consideration. Our goal is to screen the perception and production of r- and l-sounds in Chinese students of Czech as L2. The experiment, in which 8 subjects participated, is based on minimal pairs and consists of a listening test (72 items) and recording of read speech (single words and sentences containing target words, 64 items per speaker). Within the set of minimal pairs, the position and the combination of the target sounds are controlled. The procedure was also tested regarding its suitability for the systematic screening of students' skills.
