PHONETICS
English consonants: /b/ and /v/
Consonant sounds /b/ and /v/
The sound /b/ is always spelt b or bb: bad, rubber or cob.
The sound /v/ is spelt: v: vat, prove, divine or average.
The problem with these two sounds is that many Spanish speakers have trouble with the difference
between /b/ and /v/ because it doesn't exist in Spanish. They sound alike to many students.
