Wet or Vet? A W/V Ear Test

wet

/wɛt/

vs

vet

/vɛt/

Especially for Korean speakers

Korean has no native /v/, and the closest available sounds sit right next to /w/ in the mouth — a classic case documented in Korean-English pronunciation research where learners' production and perception of the pair both drift toward one merged sound.
