How to Make the Sound
To make the /v/ sound, put your upper teeth onto your lower lip. Use your voice as your breath passes through the teeth and lower lip. To make the /w/ sound, push the lips forward and say /u/, then let the tongue and lower lip drop. When you let the first sound glide into the second (usually a vowel follows), /w/ is produced. Work with a partner to say what these pictures are.
