/v/ and /b/ sounds ?
I've a language learning app, and the words "vino" or "verde" is pronounced with the /v/ sound that is in English. However, i have learnt that the "v" letter should be pronounced like /b/. Which one is correct? Or is there a rule for this point?

Theorically, both sounds are different, just like in English. However, with the passing of time, both sounds became the same sound (the b sound). Both ways, you would be understood when speaking Spanish.

Oh! Its hard to response, becouse I think native spanish (like me) do not pronounce "v" and "b" with correct entonation, so you can not get what is the difference between both. But in theory "v" sound softly and "b" sound a little b "strongly". There are a lots of examples on the internet, but I think you have to put the entonation in others things.
Hope this helps!

The only explanation is the accents variety. My teachers always tell me to ignore it and stick to my learned pronunciation :)

The sound "v" doesn't really exist in spanish, and is pronounced the same way as "b"

The pronunciation of "v" and "b" is exactly the same no difference.
