How to make the sound
Place the upper teeth lightly on the lower lip and let air pass through while the vocal folds vibrate.
What to feel and listen for
The friction is continuous like /f/, but your throat vibrates and the airflow is less forceful.
Common mistake: Do not stop the air completely; this is a fricative, not a lip closure.
