how to pronounce "OBVIOUSLY"
The word OBVIOUSLY is obviously difficult for me to pronounce, because it has V next to B.
To pronounce B, your lips stick to each other, then V, your upper front teeth stick to your lower lip right?
That sequence is hard.
Does someone have any advice?
Can I skip B sound or V sound?

Question

Answer

This California girl always pronounces both the b and the v. I can see how the b would get left out in a hurry but I don't believe it is correct.

Answer

It is tricky if you try to pronounce both letters. Normally we skip the 'b' sound and just say the 'v', so it's said as "oviously", but written as "obviously".

Answer

Supposedly, "b" can be left out while in a hurry.

Answer

Make sure the stress and pronounce it correctly. With the correct pronunciation of the vowel and stress, you would probably not miss it.

Answer

That B is like the Portuguese one when we say "obviamente". I think the Spanish is the same (I realized you also study Spanish so this tip could help) but in case you still don't know, here is an audio sample how to spell it in English:

I hope this helps.
