Speech & Pronunciation

I've been..... do you pronounce "v" and "b" or just "b"?

Well, for a spanish speaking person, there's almost no difference between "v" and "b" and itos quite difficult to imagine that we gotta pronounce "v" and "b" together to get the sound right? Is there any problem to other ESL students to pronounce so complicated consontant clusters?

Do you say /aivbIn/ or /AIbIn/ just omitting the sound in between?

Thanks in advance for your time!
