Join Max for a coffee break in which he will guide you through one tricky point of French pronunciation: the difference between h muet (silent h) and h aspirĂ© (aspirated h). đ€
Youâll learn how words like lâhomme (the man) link smoothly thanks to a silent h, while words like le hĂ©ros 𩾠(the hero) create a pause because of the aspirated h. With clear examples and simple explanations, this lesson will help you recognise the difference and sound more natural when speaking French.
