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 aspiré (aspirated h). ? You’ll learn how words like l’homme (the man) link smoothly thanks to a silent h, while words like le héros ? (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. ✅Subscribe to the Coffee Break French newsletter for more content like this!
