B vs P Advanced English Pronunciation Lesson
hi i’m vanessa from speak English with
vanessa calm bare pair big pig help
what’s the difference
let’s talk about it in today’s
pronunciation lesson we’re going to talk
about two sounds that are challenging
for a lot of English learners they are B
and P big and pig bear and pair bride
and pride let’s start by talking about
one of those sounds and then the second
and then let’s combine them for a
challenge let’s start by talking about
the bee bee sound this sentence is not
so nice but it’s a good way to remember
how to pronounce but but I’m going to
say this sentence and it uses three B
words the bride looks like a big bear
hopefully you don’t tell the bride this
the bride is the woman who’s gonna get
married
don’t tell a bride that she looks like a
big bear trust me you’ll regret it so
you should say but the bride
notice that when I say bride big bear my
lips are coming together mm-hmm
but there’s a little hole here and a lot
of vibration is coming out mm-hmm I’ll
use a piece of paper to show you the air
that’s coming out hmm I hope that for
you you can also do this with a piece of
paper
I recommend imitating my sounds right
Big Bear and then let’s talk about the
next sound because the next sound is
going to be quite different
big mm there’s a lot of vibration put
your hand here mmm
kind of tickles the bride looks like a
big
they’re lots of vibration what about our
second sentence using the other
challenge sound in the second sound P
we’re not going to be really using any
vibration it’s just going to be air
pride pair the paper is still moving but
it’s not because of a vibration hmm
that’s what we used for bride big but
what about pump you can imagine a puff
of air puh puh Pig let’s talk about a
sentence that uses a couple P words it’s
another kind of crazy sentence it is
pigs who eat pears have pride pride is
when you’re proud of yourself you’re
happy you’re glad that you’re did you
did something you have pride pride not
bride the first sound with a bee this is
with a P so what your mouth is going to
be doing look closely when I say pigs
who eat pears have pride my mouth isn’t
the same position as a bee but this time
there’s only air we’re not feeling those
vibrations from the sound coming out
this is just air let’s do it one more
time and have that air puffing out of
our mouths are you ready let’s use a
piece of paper to see the air coming out
pigs who eat pears have pride pigs pears
pride pop let’s talk about a challenge
that is are you ready to combine these I
want you to write down this challenge
sentence and test yourself see if you
can get it correct write it down on a
piece of paper write it down in the
comments and then at the end I’ll let
you know the correct answer
the sentence is don’t give the bride to
the pride don’t give the bride to the
pride here we’re using
another version of the word pride we’re
not using pride as the earlier version
you’re proud you’re happy you’re glad
that you did something pride in this
sentence is talking about a group of
lions we have different words in English
for groups of animals and a group of
lions is called a pride so do you know
what order this sentence goes in does it
start with a P does it finish with a B
how can we write this correctly and how
can you pronounce it correctly let me
say this one more time
don’t give the bride to the pride don’t
give the bride to the pride if you do
that something terrible will happen so
make sure that you say this sentence
correctly so that everyone can
understand you don’t give the bride to
the pride don’t give the bride to the
pride what did you write down for your
sample your test sentence did you say
that first don’t give the bride there’s
some vibration happening don’t give the
bride to the pride pride only air who
don’t give the woman who’s going to be
married to the Lions it’s not a good
idea don’t give the brides of the pride
I hope that you can say this correctly
