I have the pleasure of working with many wonderful students from South Asia in my classes. One problem that these students frequently have is pronouncing the /w/ sound.
They often substitute the /v/ sound for the /w/ sound. This is confusing for American English listeners because Wednesday sounds like Vensday, will sounds like vill and week sounds like veek.
To make the /w/ sound you must round your lips and push them forward. Your teeth should not be touching your lips when you make this sound.
