English Teacher Melanie: Pronunciation Practice – /v/ vs. /w/

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

Do you say /w/ instead of /v/? This is a common English pronunciation mistake. This is a very common mistake for Russian, Arabic, Chinese, Farsi, German, Polish, Hungarian, Gujarti, Punjabi, Romanian, Slovak, Serbo-Croatian, and Urdu speakers.

Part 1 – Minimal Pairs /v/ and /w/
Part 2 – Words with /v/
Part 3 – Words and phrases with /v/ and /w/
Part 4 – Sentences with /v/ and /w/
