Lessons Unit 1, lesson 27

b as in bed

One consonant, on its own page. Hear it, watch where it sits in each word's sheet, then say the words yourself.

bb as in bed

Exactly like p — lips press and pop — but switch your voice on. Put a hand on your throat: b buzzes, p doesn't.

ˈb b ɛ e d d
bed
ˈb b ɔɪ oy
boy
ˈb b ʊ oo k k
book
ˈb b æ a ɡ g
bag

Now say it yourself

Read each word from its sheet, out loud, three times. Where there's a play button, listen first and copy what you hear. Slow is fine — clear beats fast.

ˈb b æ a t t
bat
ˈb b ʌ u s s
bus
ˈb b ʌ u z zz
buzz
ˈb b ɝ ir d d
bird
ˈb b l l ue
blue
ˈb b oa t t
boat
