About this episode

Can you hear the difference between the 'B' and the 'P' sound in English? Did he say "beach" or "peach"? Did she say "pig" or "big"? It's a very subtle difference... it's very hard to hear! It's also difficult to pronounce these two sounds clearly because of their similarities. In this podcast, Mark will take you through the B and P sound in depth. By the end of this episode you'll be comfortable to use these sounds accurately and you'll be able to understand them easily.

And if you ever want a bit more practice before your English test, make sure you head to www.e2testprep.com and sign up for our free online English test prep courses for IELTS, PTE, OET, TOEFL, TOEIC and CELPIP.
