Exercises and puzzles to help you learn Espanol - The Everything Kids' Learning Spanish Book

I have not purchased this book. However, I looked at the "look inside" pages an I saw that the books states that B and V are pronounced the same in Spanish. Having grown up in South America I can tell you that in school they tell you they are in fact pronounced different. So much so that in trying to decide how a word should be spelled you are taught to pronounce it both ways and "hear it" to see which of the two "B" or "V" fits. I admit that in day to day conversation it may be hard to distinguish between the two. But believe me when I say a native speaker will pick it up when you pronounce it with the wrong one. The pronunciation is the same as in English perhaps less pronounced for the "v".
