Instead, you pull your lips into a tiny circle, similar to the lip formation you&#8217;d use to make the &#8220;oo&#8221; vowel sound in words like &#8220;pool&#8221; or &#8220;moon.&#8221; It&#8217;s the English &#8220;V&#8221; where you <em>do<\/em> use your teeth. To make the &#8220;V&#8221; sound in English, you place your upper teeth lightly on the inside of your lower lip and gently blow out air, while using your vocal cords.<\/p>\n<p>It may help to see what these lip formations actually look like, so be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/toefl\/magoosh-comics-pronounce-w-v\/\">the Magoosh Comic illustrating the &#8220;W&#8221; and &#8220;V&#8221; mouth movements<\/a>.
