v     [ubeh]  

The 'b' (long) and 'v' (short) are pronounced exactly the same. Both of these have two separate sounds: hard and soft.

At the beginning of a word and after 'm' or 'n', the hard Spanish 'b/v' would be like the 'b' in the word 'bay', but the lips are held tense.

The soft 'b/v' is pronounced like an English 'b' but the lips are not allowed to touch! This sound does not exist in English...
