Good Video. Believe it or not, the difference between B and V is how you put the mouth. With the B close the lips and try to say Beso. With the V you have to put your front Theets outside like Rarribit and tray to said Victoria

What about the double LL? Its my pet peeve!

For me...one of the hardest things to say? La palabra: TARDE--I either under- or over-pronounce the R. How should you say it just right? Also, sometimes it's challenging to correctly pronounce the vowels in even a really simple word like: BUENA-- left to my own devices I'll say "BWEN-uss" instead of "Boo-WEN-as." So, even tho it's an extremely simple phrase, I have trouble saying "Good afternoon" in Spanish! (Note: I just listened to another YouTube video and the Mexican man making the video said BWEN-uss instead of Boo-WEN-as --- which is correct?)

FYI, AS someone who is slightly deaf, the echo is hard to listen to. I suggest you invest in a decent microphone and try to reduce the echo in the room.
