In a nutshell

In a language in which so many letters have variable pronunciations, letter v is a nice exception: it consistently makes the ‘v is for van’ sound.

Pronunciation challenges

If English is not your child’s first language, they may have some difficulty in correctly pronouncing the letter v.

Especially if your child’s first language is Spanish, Japanese, Chinese or Filipino, they may struggle to differentiate ‘v’ from ‘b’. This podcast provides a good guide on how to correctly pronounce the two letters.

An even greater challenge for learners of English occurs with the ‘v’ and ‘w’ sounds, as many other languages have different approaches to them. You may wish to listen to this podcast for help in forming these sounds correctly. The podcast states that for native speakers of American English, ‘v’ and ‘w’ are very distinct sounds. This is absolutely correct, but it doesn’t only apply to American English – whether it be British, Australian, Canadian, Irish or New Zealand English, mixing ‘v’ with ‘w’ always sounds a little bit unusual.
