/p/

The /p/ sound in English is a voiceless bilabial stop, which means it’s a sound made by blocking the airflow at the lips without any vocal cord vibration. Here’s how you pronounce it:

• Position your lips: The /p/ sound is bilabial, which means it’s made by closing both lips.
• Voicing: The /p/ sound is a voiceless consonant, meaning your vocal cords do not vibrate when you produce this sound. You should not feel any vibration if you lightly touch the front of your throat while saying the sound.
• Release the sound: Start by blocking the airflow at your lips, then release the blockage suddenly to produce the /p/ sound. The air should flow out continuously after the blockage is released.
