Confusing "b" and "v"
Because the Spanish "b" and "v" are pronounce the same, many Spanish speakers of English pronounce the words very and berry or curve and curb the same.
Remember, for /v/ sound, the upper teeth touch the lower lip. For /b/ sound, both lips touch and fully close so that no air escapes.
| /v/ | /b/ | /v/ | /b/ | |
| 1. vest | best | 4. vet | bet | |
| 2. very | berry | 5. curve | curb | |
| 3. vow | bow | 6. vote | boat |
