Why do some English words have an h that we don’t pronounce? Words like honest, hour, and heir keep their French spelling but not their French silence. In this episode, we explore how the Norman Conquest shaped English pronunciation, why some learners drop the h when they shouldn’t — or add it where it doesn’t belong — and how to master the correct use of this subtle sound. You’ll learn what the /h/ sound really is, why it disappears in certain words, and how to train your ear and speech to sound clearer and more natural.
