Is a letter V in Spanish always pronounced as a "bee" sound, or is it pronounced as a "vee" in certain cases? I am trying to improve my Spanish talking with a friend at work in Spanish (he is also good at speakin English and I help him get better with English like he helps me with Spanish) and he cannot tell the difference between a b and a v sound. He is aware that they are 2 different letters but he calls them both "b". He is Mexican and he says there is never a vee sound in Spanish but I have heard otherwise from people that have learned "Spain Spanish"
