Brillante! 200+ Key Spanish Words That Start with B (with Audio)
The Spanish B, used in just under 1.3% of Spanish words, is super easy sound to pronounce. This is because it sounds exactly like the English B.
The only confusion with B could result from the fact that in many varieties of Spanish (Castilian Spanish, for example), B sounds almost identical to V.
So bello (beautiful) and vello (hair), basta (enough) and vasta (vast) sound exactly alike. You have to figure out which word someone means from context alone.
