Jul 6, 2018 at 13:23 comment added Mike until i actually hear someone explaining me the differences i will not get them xD
Jul 6, 2018 at 2:12 comment added aparente001 @Mike - It's clear for B at the beginning of an utterance versus B in the middle of an utterance. At the beginning it's more percussive, more emphatic. In the middle it's softer, less explosive. In the case of D -- well, I never realized that there is something similar going on until I read this page, but I suppose there might be a bit of that difference going on with this consonant too....
Jul 5, 2018 at 19:16 comment added Mike too much for me... i don't get it, probably i can't hear the differences.
Jul 5, 2018 at 19:09 comment added jacobo @Mike the Spanish Wiki page for lenición explicitly describes the changes /b/ → /β/ etc as examples of said phenomenon.
Jul 5, 2018 at 19:02 comment added Mike i don't think this is the case, lenition is when a word CHANGES and is not about the current pronunciation of one and by the phonetic articulation of words. i think that varies with regions.
Jul 5, 2018 at 14:42 comment added Dr.Kameleon I had no idea about the term. Thanks for letting me know! :)
