I'm not that educated in Spanish but the problem may be that in Spanish those two sounds are indistiguishable from each other. b and v are very similar in formation.

Also, in languages there can be conditioning that makes them choose one sound over the other. I assume that's your problem. That may be why they use 'berry good' but may use 'v' for 'variety.'
