'h muet' et 'h aspiré'  How to understand which 'h' is in the beginning of a word?
Oh là là! Ce n'est pas possible de mémoire tout!
Maybe you have some impicit rule. Which works at least for 80%?

Answer

There s no definite rule. It s basically a historical problem. Words inherited from latin have this so-called mute 'h', while originally Germanic words, and most borrowings, have an "aspirated" initial 'h' (it s never aspirated in a phonetic sense, but I guess u know this...). Can have a look over there:

Answer

Don't worry! Even french people don't know when the "h" is aspirated or muet...
A "H aspiré" in french doesn't sound like an english one...it's quite the same than a "H muet"
We can chat together if you want to hear that...
