In the germanic languages, ie German, Suiss, Vienese, etc, it is (w)erry common to sound the consonents of V,W and F, interchangably, o(v) course!

The english pronouncation for the letters"w" and "v" is not easy for germans ,austrians and german-swiss people.
But even worser is the "th".
There is no lingual equivalent for this in german, so many of us only say "t"
or "f" iinstead of the correct "th"

yeah same in russian
i remeber it took my mother for ever to pronounce "burger" correctly (it would end up being "boorgoor") or anything "th".
