American 'H' Sound: Spanish, French and Italian Speaker Accent Training Guide | #295
Welcome to episode #295 of the Accent Training Podcast!
Are you a native Spanish, French, or Italian speaker struggling with the distinct American 'H' sound? If your 'H' often goes silent (like in hora or homme), you're not alone! This essential accent training guide is specifically designed to help you master the aspiration needed for a natural American English pronunciation.
In this episode, we'll cover:
- The Difference Maker: A clear explanation of why the aspirated American 'H' is so important and how it affects comprehension.
- Targeted Pronunciation Practice: We’ll use focused minimal pair exercises to clearly distinguish between 'H' sounds and vowel sounds (like air vs. hair).
- Real-World Application: Boost your fluency by practicing common American names that begin with 'H' (e.g., Hannah, Henry, Holly).
Stop dropping your 'H's and start sounding more confident! This is the ultimate 'H' pronunciation workout for Romance language speakers.
