Translation

I challenge you to say, puff out the candle on the pretty pink cake.
きれいなピンクのケーキのろうそくを吹き消して、と言ってみてください。
Go.
どうぞ。
Did you have any issues?
何か問題はありましたか？
Any problems?
何か困ったことは？
Mini English Lessons Today's Mini English Lesson is all about how to pronounce /p/ and /b/ sounds correctly every single time.
ミニ英語レッスン今日のミニ英語レッスンは、/p/と/b/の音を毎回正しく発音する方法についてです。
Some languages like Japanese, Korean, or Arabic find it really difficult when words have /p/ and /b/ sounds
日本語、韓国語、アラビア語などの一部の言語では、/p/と/b/の音を含む単語が本当に難しいと感じます。
because they either have a very subtle (small) difference between them or they don't have the /p/ sound at all,
なぜなら、それらの間の違いがとても微妙（小さい）だったり、/p/の音自体が存在しなかったりするからです。
which makes it really difficult.
そのため、本当に難しくなります。
Even I find it tricky sometimes.
私でさえ、時々難しいと感じます。
So, how do you say them?
では、どうやって発音するのでしょうか？
First, put your lips together.
まず、唇を合わせてください。
Next, block the air out for a moment and then suddenly release it like a little explosion.
次に、一瞬空気を止めて、それから小さな爆発のように突然放出します。
/p/ /p/ But there is a key difference.
/p/ /p/ でも、重要な違いがあります。
I will tell you a little trick that will not only let you make and hear the difference, but also see it.
違いを作り出すだけでなく、聞き分け、さらには目で見ることもできるちょっとしたコツをお教えします。
Ready?
準備はいいですか？
Let's go!
さあ、行きましょう！
Put your lips together, release the air, /p/ and put a paper in front of your mouth.
唇を合わせて、空気を放出して、/p/、そして口の前に紙を置いてください。
Have your fingers right here on your throat and say it again.
指をここ喉のところに当てて、もう一度言ってみてください。
/p/, /p/, /p/ The paper should be moving.
/p/、/p/、/p/ 紙が動くはずです。
Well done!
よくできました！
You just made /p/ sound.
/p/の音が作れましたね。
Now we're gonna make the /b/ sound.
次は/b/の音を作ります。
Keep the same movement and position of your lips and the air.
唇の動きと位置、空気の出し方は同じままにしてください。
/b/ This time, when you put your hands on your throat, right here, you should be making a vibration.
/b/ 今度は、ここ喉に手を当てると、振動を感じるはずです。
/b/, /b/ When you put your paper again in front of your mouth, it shouldn't be moving at all.
/b/、/b/ もう一度口の前に紙を置いても、紙は全く動かないはずです。
/b/ /b/ Can you feel that?
/b/ /b/ 感じられましたか？
Keep practising so next time you're ordering pink bananas and blue peppers for breakfast, you'll smash your order.
練習を続けて、次に朝食にピンクのバナナと青いピーマンを注文するときは、ばっちり注文できるようにしましょう。
