THE SOUND OF /b/ IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH



We all know that Spanish has two sounds represented by /b/ and /v/. One is occlusive (hard): "hombre, ámbar, tambor." (Occlusive but not explosive.) The other sound is fricative (soft): "bueno, vino, beber." (lips hardly touch.) This latter sound appears in English in words such as: wound, wool, would, and wood. If you pronounce these two sounds well, both your English and Spanish will improve your accent a lot. But remember that practice makes perfect.
