 These three sounds are never pronounced with the puff of breath after them, as the corresponding English sounds often are.

The above three sounds, when they come between two vowels, are not pronounced with a full closure of lips or tongue (as are English b, d, g) but with the breath forcing its way out between the lips, or between the tongue and teeth, or between the tongue and top of the mouth.

The above sound is not used by speakers of American Spanish, who replace it by "s".
