Lessons Unit 3, lesson 8

b + vowels

The b beginning opening into every vowel it starts words with. Get the mouth ready for b, release straight into the vowel — no gap, no extra sound between them.

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.
