Chapter 9. "V" as in Victory CD 4 Track 27
When pronounced correctly, V shouldn't stand out too much. Its sound, although noticeable, issmall. As a result, people, depending on their native language, sometimes confuse V with B (Spanish, Japanese), with F (German), or with W (Chinese, Hindi). These four sounds are not at all interchangeable.
The W is a semivowel and there is no friction 1 or contact. The B, like P, uses both lips and has a slight pop. American tend tohave a strong, popping P. You can check your pronunciation by holding a match, a sheet of paper, or just your hand in front of your mouth. If the flame goes out, the paper wavers, or you feel a distinct puff 2 of air on your hand, you've said P not B. B is the voiced pair of P.
Although F and V are in exactly the same position, F is a hiss 3 and V is a buzz. The V is the voiced pair of F, as you saw in Chapter 2 (p. 62). When you say F, it is as if you are whispering. So, for V, say F and simply add some voice to it,which is the whole difference between fairy and very, as you will hear in our next exercise. (TheF, too, presents problems to Japanese, who say H. To pronounce F, the lower lip raises up and the inside of the lip very lightly touches the outside of the upper teeth and you make a slight hissing 4 sound. Don't bite the outside of your lip at all.)
Note In speaking, of is reduced to [əv].
