I can help you sound more like a native English speaker and increase your spoken English proficiency by teaching you everything you need to know about the way Americans actually pronounce the H sound. You’ll see that it’s an incredibly common reduction—the “H” sound in fluent English actually disappears completely a lot of the time…I’ll show you why step-by-step. I’ll give you lots of examples of this American English pronunciation reduction and you’ll have lots of chances to practice and grow your skills. I’ll walk you through it in an easy-to-understand way and we’ll have a lot of fun, too! Becoming fluent is the aim of most English learners and I hope you’ll accept my help. Fluent English is within your reach if you can take short lessons like this one and incorporate the learning into your daily speech. Yes, it’s going to be tough for you at first as you learn to say this word (and all reductions) in a more natural way. In fact, it’s an example of how learning real American English pronunciation may actually be made more difficult by having learned English primarily from books and from teachers who are not native speakers. You’ll need to un-learn some old habits but I’m here to help. Let’s get started! Part 1\n
