P Sounding like B in Words like PEPPER

Today I’m answering your questions about the P sound sounding like a B.

Every once in a while, I get a question about the P sound sounding like a B.

For example, people have asked about the words: spoon, rapport, and pepper.

And I know that some teachers teach that these Ps should be a B.

I disagree with that.

Let’s talk about why.

The thing is, it’s not about this sound being a P or B.

It’s about the sound being very light.

If you make the P light, it sounds great.

If you make the B light, it sounds almost the same.

Also good.

But if you make the B sound heavy: sboon– it doesn’t sound so good anymore.

Sboon.

So it’s not about changing the P to a B.

It’s about knowing how to make a light P.

If someone makes the P sound by itself, it sounds like this.

Pphh— phh— phh—

It’s over exaggerated. In a word, that’s not how we actually do it.

So if people think that ‘Pphh–’ is the P sound, then ‘spoon’ would be: spoon.

And that’s not how we pronounce that word.

It’s not: spoon— spoon—

It’s also not: sboon— sboon—

The right sound is: spoon— spoon— a light P that releases directly into the vowel.

So how do we get this light P?

We need to change the idea. P is not pphh—

P is p- p- p- p- much lighter a much smaller release.

Spoon. Poon— poon— spoon— spoon—

We go right from the release into the vowel without pphh– hh– hh– all of this extra air.

Spoon— spoon—

pe— pepper— pepper—

A light feeling in the P, not too much air: pphh–

Right now, try this out loud with me:

sp– sp– spoon— spoon—

Let’s do some more words.

Pe— per— pepper— pepper—

Are you practicing out loud? Please do.

Pepper— pepper—

Awww. My dog growing up was named Pepper.

This is a picture of me and Pepper.

P- p- Port— port—

report— report—

Pam— sp— spam—

Spam—

Sp– spam—

Span– sp–

speed—

pen—

spin—

pace—

space—

Sp– pell—

spell—

So don’t try to change the P sound to a B.

Just make sure you’re making it a light sound and you’ll sound great.

今天我要回答你关于 P 音听起来像 B 的问题。

每隔一段时间，我都会收到一个关于 P 音听起来像 B 的问题

。例如，人们会问这些词：spoon、rapport 和胡椒。

而且我知道有些老师教导说这些 Ps 应该是 B。

我不同意这一点。

让我们谈谈为什么。

问题是，这不是关于这个声音是 P 还是 B。

这是关于声音非常轻的问题。

如果你让P灯，听起来很棒。

如果你让 B 灯亮，听起来几乎一样。

也很好。

但是如果你让 B 听起来很重：sboon——它听起来就不再那么好了。

斯布恩。

所以这不是把P变成B。

而是要知道如何制作一个轻的P。

如果有人自己发出P的声音，听起来是这样的。

Pphh— phh— phh

— 太夸张了。总之，这不是我们实际做的方式。

因此，如果人们认为“Pphh–”是 P 音，那么“spoon”就是：spoon。

这不是我们如何发音这个词。

不是：spoon-spoon- 也不是：sboon-

sboon- 正确的声音是：spoon-spoon-直接释放到元音中的轻 P。

那么我们如何得到这个光P呢？

我们需要改变想法。 P 不是 pphh —

P 是 p- p- p- p- 更轻更小的版本。

勺子。 Poon-poon-spoon-spoon-spoon-

我们直接从释放进入元音，没有 pphh–hh–hh–所有这些额外的空气。

Spoon-spoon-pe-pepper-pepper-

P 中的一种轻快的感觉，没有太多空气：pphh–

现在，和我一起大声尝试：

sp– sp–spoon-spoon-spoon-

让我们多说几句 .

Pe- per- Pepper- Pepper-

你在大声练习吗？请做。

胡椒——胡椒——

哇。我长大的狗被命名为Pepper。

这是我和Pepper的合影。

P- p-

Port–port–report–report–Pam–sp–spam– Spam–sp–spam– Span– sp– speed

所以不要试图把 P 音变成 B 音。

只要确保你把它变成一个轻音，你就会听起来很棒。
