Once you're sure you've heard the word bien and understand how it's said, make sure to repeat it out loud until you can speak it correctly. Repeating it can be an effective way to master the pronunciation. Also, make sure to memorize the word so that you can use it on the spot when you need to.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQ5l0u4oFi8
