Pronunciation Errors Part #1
The V and the B are Pronounced the Same
In the Spanish alpahbet, we find the both letters v and b. Although in few centuries ago both b and v are pronounced with two different sounds nowadays these letters are pronounced as the same phoneme in Spanish language, so is for thatt the Spanish speakers pronounce the Spanish ´´b´´ in all English words that are spelled both B and V. But this problem is easier to solve because consonant ´´v´´ is produce when we put our upper teeth on our lower lip while the consonat ´´b´´ , its sound is produced when we close our lips.

Dropping consonants sounds at the end of the words
When Spanish speakers speak English, they usually drop consonants at the end of the words. This problem usually happens because in Spanish consonants never appear or maybe we never pronounce them at the end of the words. Among the most common mistakes that sometines Spanish speaker commit we have the pronunciation of the ´´ed´´ in verbs in past tense, for example the verbs loved, watched, and listened, Spanish speakers only pronounce them as love, watch, and listen without the ed sound.
