ArchivesThe pronunciation in Spanish
in reply to a message by Molina
is just BEH-rah.
Both letters B and V have only the sound [b] and there are not a sound [bv] (quick and soft or not); as in any language, allophones are possible depending of the dialect, the sociolect and the personal uses, but that would be a punctual pronunciation, not the general one.
And, in Spanish, the vowels are always short and pure sounds: A sounds [a] (AH), E sounds [e] (EH), I sounds [i] (EE), O sounds [o] (OH), and U sounds [u] (OO).
