Learn this simple technique that will help you pronounce ALL difficult letters in English! This English lesson is especially for all my Middle Eastern and Korean students, who often have problems with P and B sounds.
It’s a really good lesson I like it. I have a question ” Is there exist difference of prounanced letter P & B if it came in middel or in the end of the word?
thank you:)
yes! it depends what vowels are in front of or behind it!
Hi teacher I’m Alex I’d just like to say that your lesson are fantastic..
and I want to know about your private lesson on the skipe I stayed very interested I go to leave my email ok
Though this instructor seems to be a good teacher, she is actually making some serious errors here. When you say the names of the letters, that’s totally different than saying the sounds that the letters make.
If you say P, it is voiced. Why? Because it sounds like “pee” and all vowel sounds are voiced. It is the sound /p/, not the letter name that is unvoiced.
Very good lesson Ronnie just one little remark… when you say “P” or “B” they are the letters of the alphabet. It´s different from saying /p/ or /b/ which are phonemes ( sounds), and you can´t hear the vocal cords vibrate, you feel them. Regards
Thank you so much you are really helpful teacher in the world.
May God richly bless you.
My dear i am from Afghanistan, and here we do not have any expert

Thanks alot
thanks ronnie!!since my childhood i had difficulty in pronuncing in P & B,now i got a clear idea..im the regular follower of your videos..you guys are doing great…keep it up.thanks once again
Mam i like your all videos, thanks for offering us free videos. i learn many words and take a lot of knowledge.Which person teach/learn me only one word. You are my teacher, i shall always respect you Mam. And i always remember you in my prayers. Mam your method of teaching is very very good than other teachers.i,m doing graduate. Mam my English is too weak, please help me in this case because our language is Urdu. English is an international language thats why i want to learn English. Its my aim and desire that i speak English like British natives.Mam can you provide more videos for speaking English fluently and vocabulary.
MAY YOU LIVE LONG MAM
there is a role but i do not know the meaning and when can i use it
s+get+somebody+infintive with to +something
s+have+something+passive
i am waiting for your reply..teacher
Roni: When teaching the sounds of “p” and “b”, it is best not to use the name of the letters. To express the unvoiced “p”, an explosion of air should be forced outward from the mouth through the pursed lips. To express the voiced “b”, voice is combined with the lips closed and then opened. In the video, you actually said the names of the letters rather than the sound those letters make. If students use the letter name when pronouncing a word, the word will be mispronounced. “Pop”
will become “pee-op”. “Baby” will become “bee-a-bee”. Perhaps you can re-record this lesson again.
Perhaps you can
thank you so much.
pleas, add v pronunciation.
I’m so difficult between b & v pronunciation.
For example, berry & very . :)
English is my second language as well. I have learnt it through an English grammar book the pronunciation of /V/ : if you put your lower lip behind your upper teeth and then let the air flow flow out softly pushing the lower lip back to its normal state, then the sound produced is very close to the native… try very, vivid, violet, vivian, valley, village, vow and wow
Thank you Ronnie and all wonderful participants.
