In American English pronunciation, V is a vibrating sound. Make an F sound, but hold the teeth by the lower lip and let it vibrate. You should feel slight heat on your lip as you practice holding out the sound. Keep your mouth/jaw relaxed. Make sure to pronounce V in the middle or at the end of words. W is a the sound you make on your lips. Your lips start in an O shape, move in and then move outward. In American English, V and F are similar, yet opposite. V vibrates and F does not. We have no interchange between V and W spellings and sounds. They are separate, distinct sounds. |
