This is a pronunciation practice lesson designed to help you improve your pronunciation of the English letter v.

Do you say /b/ instead of /v/? This is a common English pronunciation mistake. This is a very common mistake for Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Punjabi, and Tagalog speakers.

Part 1 – Minimal Pairs /v/ and /b/
Part 2 – Words and phrases with /v/ and /b/
Part 3 – Words and phrases with /v/

This video was originally made for one of my Spanish private lesson students. If you are interested in improving your American English pronunciation, you can contact me for private lessons over the internet. Your first lesson is free!
