Even Germans who speak English vell, often get the w sound wrong and pronounce it like a “v”. Especially after drinking some vine. Ve just accept it just as ve tolerate English speakers struggling with “ö” and “ü”. However, the really funny thing is that many Germans who manage the “w” quite well, will overcompensate and call a tankard or glass or stein a “wessel”. Particularly, after drinking some wampire or wanilla cocktails.
