In South America there are not difference between B and V sounds. But I think in Spain there is a little difference: B should be pronounced with lips only, and V exactly the same like in this video but without voice, just lips and teeth. Thank you, I improved my English phonetics with this video.
You are awesome! I absolutely love and appreciate your help with pronunciation! I’m an English teacher, and I refer my students to your videos all the time! Thank you so much for your help! Please create new videos! For example, on -ed endings, merging, etc.
Wonderful! Please say hi to your students! BTW, we also have a website with tons of information about pronunciation and phonic rules, check it out: soundsamerican.net/
Great video! Guys, although it's not used in everyday speaking, in Spanish we do have this sound. There is a rule that we never use when we speak but we always use when we write: an "n" consonant is always followed by a "v" consonant (for example the word "invitar"), and a "m" consonant is always followed by a "b" consonant (for example the word "combinar"). This used to be to don't mix the consonant sounds when speaking. Nowadays, we usually don't pronounce them in this way, but when you know this rule you understand that some time in the past the /v/ sound was pronounced in Spanish exactly as in English. In fact, I think they still pronounce them like this in some regions in Spain. And here in my country, some teachers teach this to their students, for us to know more about our language. Hope you enjoyed my high school knowledge hahaha. Greetings! 👏 👋 :)
+Marquito L Thank you, glad you liked this video. And thank you for the awesome comment! We know that you have the 'v' and even the 'w' letters in Spanish. But in this video we're talking about the sounds, not letters. What we meant is that in Spanish there's no the same *sound* /v/. In our experience, Spanish-speaking students very often substitute the American /v/ sound with the /b/, so that's what this is all about :). BTW, you mentioned that they may pronounce the /v/ sound in some regions in Spain, do you happen to know which ones? Just curious.
Sounds American I don't know exactly, I just heard it in some Spanish series. In Catalonia, where they speak Catalan and Spanish, they can make this difference more often because some words in Catalan conserve the /v/ sound. Also there's people who say the /v/ sound is a vestige from antique languages like Latin that had been disappearing with the language's evolution, and when Spanish started spreading around the world was already lost. There is some discussion about wether we should pronounce this sound or not. But the thing is, if you watch a movie filmed in Spain, you'll probably hear some actors and actresses pronounce the /v/ 😅😅
I found this on a webpage! "Sin embargo, los españoles de origen valenciano o mallorquín y los de algunas comarcas del sur de Cataluña pronuncian la vlabiodental hablando en español, no por énfasis ni por cultismo, sino por espontánea influencia de su propia lengua." It means: However, some Spanish people from Valencia, Mallorca, and some regions in Catalonia's south, pronounce the /v/ speaking Spanish, not because of emphasis or cultism, if not for their own language spontaneous influence ✌ 👌
Awesome guidance in every single aspect, Congratulations!!!!, specially for us native Spanish speakers, English is grammatically easier than Spanish but it's phonetically way more complicated
In Argentina we're usually taught as childs that 'v' and 'b' have different sounds, 'labiodental' and 'bilabial', i remember wondering why I wasn't able to distinguish them... Much later I look it up and found it's a sort of myth. We actually use only one sound... So i have all the problems you mentioned in the video with this, I just recently became aware that i was saying "berry" instead of "very"! 😅 Anyway... I will continue rewatchin this video and practicing with it! Thank you
I have mispronounced words end with v sound so many times, Instead I change by the f sound. I will try to improve my pronunciation. I appreciate your great lesson, thanks.
This channel is great and this one is among the best ones. This very precise and critical words have resolved my "defeats" for decades. American are as good as lovely like any other devoted language teachers. One day I will make Chinese pronunciation videos. ( I hope), Thanks so much.
Thank you very much for your videos. They do help me learn sounds and make understanding english speech easier. Do you have any plans to write or make videos on intonation and stress?
Always happy to help! And yes, we're working on a new series "American English Rhythm and Intonation." It'll take some time, though, because the idea is to integrate this content into our website. Stay tuned!
@Sounds American I really appriciate your spanish speakers list of sounds, but I consider you should add to that list: Letter "X", stop gottal T, Flap T, the Dark L and other A
Thank you for your suggestion. The playlist for Spanish speakers is arranged so that people could focus on the most critical and problematic sounds first, then practice other sounds that may be difficult for them. This way Spanish speakers can improve their American pronunciation faster. After that, if needed, they can practice other American English sounds, like the Glottal or Flap 'T' or the Dark 'L.' These sounds are not included in the playlist, because they are not critical for your American pronunciation, you can focus on them after you've mastered all other, more important, sounds. BTW, there's no such sound as 'X,' it's a letter. 'X' can represent /k+s/ or /g+z/ sounds.
I'm aching for watching your videos about two English affricates /dʒ/ and /tʃ/. As in "pleasure" and "cheese". Though I know to pronounce them I'd like to hear a d+ʒ and t+ʃ blends in lower speech because in fast speech that is tricky to hear.
+Ps Silva Yes, we plan to make those videos too. Thank you for your suggestion! Just in case, the word "pleasure" is pronounced with the /ʒ/ sound, like in "seizure", not the /dʒ/, like in "bridge."
Extremely clear; the note on Spanish speakers is also remarkable as we do not often make any difference between the / v / sound and the / b / sound. Only one question, what about the pronunciation of "Stephen"? Sure here the "ph" sounds as / v /; wonder if there are other words where the "ph" spelling doesn't sound / f / as it usually does ( phone, Phil, nephew, photo, paragraph, ... ...)
For Russian speakers (and also maybe for other Slavic language speakers) it is extremely difficult to distinguish between /v/ and /w/. Russian has practically the same /v/ as English, but no /w/ at all. PS, Arabic does not have /v/, only /w/...
We do have a V sound in Spanish that is a bit close to the English V. Whenever a V or B comes after a consonant, it sounds like B. Whenever a V or B comes after a vowel, it sounds like V. Un burro /un Burro/ (Male donkey) Una burra /una vurra/ (Female donkey)
Dear Friends of SACh (Sounds American Channel), you are very WRONG. ..... Why? My mother tongue is Spanish, I am from Venezuela and I am a Geologist. Well, in Spanish, we have the letter V and it sounds extremely similar to the sound V in English. ..... But, currently, nobody uses the letter V in Spanish. Because it is more simple to say BACA, instead of VACA. We write VACA (cow), but we say BACA. According to Diccionario de la Real Academia Española, we should write VACA and we should say VACA too. But nobody take care of that rule. Was I quite clear?!..... But, no problem thanks for your AWESOME videos. (I downloaded it on my laptop, they are very useful, :-) )
This is so hard. I used to be able to pronounce this when I was a kid. For some reason, I can only pronounce it as "w" and "b" now. Although my language has this sound.
Actually,you guys should be aware that this is basic knowledge. There is long way to go if you wanna sound exactly like the American.And of course this is a great channel.
