When standing alone, the Initials "B", "P", "M", and "F" all carry the vowel "o" with them.  This is so that we can hear the full sound the initial makes.  When we pronounce the initial we should also pronounce the vowel "o" with it.  Let's try it.  Click on the initial to hear the pronunciation.

 

Bo                               "B" like in "Boy"

 

Po                                "P" like in "Plane"

 

Mo                            "M" like in "Mother"

 

Fo                                 "F" like in "Father"
