It can often be difficult to pronounce English words because you have to know if there is a silent letter in the word or not. This time I thought I would focus in on English words where the /h/ sound is silent. Of course, most of the time when you see a word spelled with an /h/ in it you do pronounce the sound, but there are a few words where this isn’t the case. This audio training lesson teaches you about the most common ones, and how to pronounce these English words.
Also have a look at this training video I made here on how to pronounce other English words that have silent letters.
