Learning English - How To Tell The Difference Between The 'B And P' Sound

The video tutorial focuses on distinguishing between the English sounds 'puh' and 'buh', which are often confused due to their similar articulation. The tutorial explains the physical differences in producing these sounds, such as the presence of vocal cord vibration for 'buh' and a puff of air for 'puh'.
