Difference between "B" and "V"...

[Cindy Pettigrew]

How do you pronounce the difference between b and v in Spanish?

[Spanish Teacher]

¡Hola!

The Spanish "b" (be de burro) and "v" (be de vaca) are pronounced exactly alike. These letters have two separate sounds, hard and soft. At the beginning of a word and after "m" or "n", the hard Spanish "b/v" closely resembles the "b" in the word "boy," except that the lips are held tense. In other situations, the "b/v" is pronounced like an English "b" in which the lips are not allowed to touch.
