The video tutorial focuses on distinguishing between the English sounds 'puh' and 'buh', which are often confused due to their similar articulation. The tutorial explains the physical differences in producing these sounds, such as the presence of vocal cord vibration for 'buh' and a puff of air for 'puh'. It introduces the concept of minimal pairs, words that differ by only one sound, and provides examples like 'big' vs. 'pig' and 'pear' vs. 'bear'. An interactive activity is included to help viewers practice identifying these sounds in sentences. The video concludes with tips for further practice and encourages viewers to use a downloadable worksheet for additional exercises.
