"v" pronunciation in Spanish

I wonder when we pronounce the "v" letter as a "p" & "v"?

any Spanish speaker can help?

 

"v" and "b" - not "p" - in Spanish are very similar. They never change the sound, it doesn't matter the word. But some countries speak as if they were the same.

@Mumtaz It's kinda confusing :D @Leigh Mumford yes, and I found that they sometimes pronounce as it is "v" and sometimes as a "b" thats what is confusing me

I have come across this too. Any word (it seems) that contains a 'v' is pronounced as a 'b'. Take "valle" which means good. It is pronounced "balle". The idiosyncracies of language!

When I started paying more attention to Spanish words, I thought it's just in my ears ;) Every time they said "Vamos", I heard it "Bamos"! Until I made sure that it's ok to pronounce V as B in Spanish :D
