Locative with "W" ?

    Greetings all!

    I've been studying Czech using James Naughton's Colloquial Czech course. However, I've noticed that the letter W (so far in my studies) has not been addressed.

    If I'm welcoming someone to Prague I would say "vítám vás v Praze" ('ha' -> 'ze' in Praha due to locative, right?) My question is this: if I welcome someone to Ottawa, Canada is it just "vítám vás v Ottawa"? Is there anything special that needs to be pronounced or changed for Ottawa? How about the letter 'w' in general?

    Thanks! :)
