off/of pronunciation

hi folks,

could somebody write down the IPA pronunciation of these two words: off/of.

I've seen in a dictionary that off is pronounced with an F and the other one with the V sound. Is it correct?
Because, when I watch American movies, they don't tend to distinguish these sounds. On the other hand, Brits do pronounce it separately.

Thanks

They are distinguished in every variety of North American English. "Off" has a vowel that ranges from [a] to [O] (usually [A] in non-California or Canadian shifted varieties that merge the vowel in words such as bother-father-cot-caught (besides certain areas on the east coast), and some Northern-cities vowel shifted areas)), or [Q] in other areas. It final consonant is [f].

Of sounds like "uv". Same vowel as in "up".

OF is one of the most mispronounced words by foreign speakers of English (along with IRON). It's written OF, but it's pronounced as OV, therefore the
informal spelling: ''I should of known'' instead of ''I should've known''.

OF [@v] can be heard clearly at the end of a sentence:
''There's nothing to be afraid of'' [@v]

''There's nothing to be afraid off'' (as pronounced by foreigners) sounds off [Af]...

Of course, the boat is off course...
