Sounds that Matter
The 6 sounds that make people go “what?” — and how to make yourself clear.
You know when you say something in English and people go… “what?”
Sometimes it’s not about the words you choose. It’s about the SOUNDS you make. English has some sounds that don’t exist in Spanish. And some that LOOK the same but sound totally different. That’s where things get confusing.
In this section, you’ll learn 6 sound pairs that cause the most problems. You’ll train your ears first. Then your mouth. And by the end, people will actually understand you. Start with /b/ vs /v/ and work your way through. Each one takes about 15–20 minutes. Ready?
