V pronouciation

V pronouciation

votes

when i started learning spanish i got it stuck in my head that I was to procnounce V's as B's. So when i started using this web site, ive noticed that in the lessons V's are pronounced as V's. If I was to continue Proncouncing V as B would I still be understood when speaking to a spanish speaking person?

I have been told that Spaniards do not notice any difference between B arcelona and V alencia.

If you try saying Bat with an open mouth it sounds the same as Vat with an open mouth.

Another thing to remember is that Spanish consonants are not emphasized as much as they are in English.

Madrid sounds more like 'athrith when spoke by a Spaniad.
