Pronunciation of b & p ( Spanish )

Pronunciation of b & p ( Spanish )

vote

Actually, It's difficult for me to distinguish the different between ''b'' and ''p''........ Is there any tips for this topic ?

I've read the notes of pronunciation in SpanishDict but I still don't have any ideas ..... Is there any videos which talk about it ?

Thank you very much!

They are both softer than the English B and P, so they would sound more similar to each other (they are fairly similar sounding in English in fact).

A strong vocabulary is probably going to be your biggest ally there. When you hear el perro ladraba toda la noche, you know they didn't say el berro. Or, if they say, el burro es muy obstinado, you know they didn't say el purro.
