Can You Tell The Differences Between Theses Pinyin Letters?

Has anything like this ever occurred to you:

You wanted to ask " Pǔdōnɡ jīchǎnɡ zěnme zǒu ？（How can l get to the Pudong airport?）?" but instead you said, " Pǔtōnɡ jīchǎnɡ zěnme zǒu ？（How can l get to the normal airport?）?”

You wanted to say " Yīɡè rén （one people）" but instead you said “Yīkè rén (one gram of people)."

Why does your Chinese always sound non-native?

Probably because these groups sounds are pronounced incorrectly:

 b d g 

 p t k 

How to pronounce them well ?

Let’s check it out！

First, you need a piece of paper. Right, a piece of paper.

Then, put the paper in front of your mouth.

Start to pronounce:  b/p   d/t   g/k

If you do it right,   

the paper will stay still when you do b/d/g.

But! When you pronounce p/t/k , the paper will be blown by the air rushing out of your mouth.

Isn’t it simple?
