Is the letter "v" in spanish sometimes pronounced like our "b"?

For example, "Donde vives"? is pronounced "Donde bebes"

Many thanks

Yes, V is pronounced like B when writting you need to choose which is the right letter by instinct.
 
Thank you Silvia. Hope you dont mind helping me everynow and again. Its a great help, to have these questions answered when you are self teaching!

Ive been getting a little down hearted lately as my learning progress seems to have slowed a little :cry:

phonetically donde vives is like:

don-day BEE-bez

with a stress on the 'vi' part of vives (because it is the penultimate syllable)
