A long story: I suggest some Greek lessons, once you master your Hebrew: Then you will be able to read both the Old and the New Testaments in the language in which they were written :)
In a nutshell, there is no letter "V" in the Greek alphabet. Beta, b, is pronounced almost like the English V. Also, the diphthong "eu" and "au" in are pronounced "ev" and "av" respectively. In ancient times, there was a Greek letter called digamma that looks eactly like an "F". Its pronounciation was something between a V and a B.
