Mixing Up V W sounds American English Pronunciation
As I am studying here in Germany I have noticed,
many Germans, when they are speaking English
while they have very good accents that many of
them pronounce the V sound as a W. Vv as a ww, ww.
For example, the word university.
Vv. I hear it: uni-wer-sity.
Which is strange because the German word,
Universität, has the vv sound in it.
It’s exactly the same in English: vv, university.
Of course, it’s just a
matter of changing the habit
as the sound does exist in the
German language. Vv, vv.
So, one just has to be careful when they’re
speaking that their mouth doesn’t go into the ww
position but rather the vv, vv.
Other words: visit, very, volleyball.
