OFF versus OF

Hi everyone!
Hey, what´s the difference (in pronunciation) between OF and OFF? Don´t know? One thing you must know for sure: neither of them is pronounced "ófi"!
So, let´s get down to business.

OFF: it´s pronounced ÓF
Turn off the phone
I need to put off the meeting
She asked me to take my shoes off

This is the easy one, right? Let´s check the other one now...

OF: it´s pronounced ÂV
What??? V sound?
EXACTLY!
So, time to practice:

A friend of mine (ÂV mine)
the storm of the century (ÂV the century)
Because of this (ÂV this)

See?

Living and learning!
