Pronunciation Practice -- V And F In Sentences

V and F are not natural sounds for Koreans. They are actually not hard to pronounce all by themselves. (See this post for a review of V and some others.)  The problem is even harder when V and F are mixed with B and P in a sentence. People get confused and start switching B for V and P for F.

The only solution to this is to practice it (with frequent correction) until it's natural. The following drills will help. Remember:

1. Practice them until they are easy.
2. Don't practice them wrong; make corrections as you go.
3. Apply what you learn to English Every Day.

Sentences
