Hello, Lindsay.
2
How are you today?
3
Hey there, Aubrey.
4
I'm doing great.
5
How are you?
6
How's everything?
7
Excellent.
8
I have a question for you.
9
When was the last time you were hangry?
10
It happens a lot, to be honest.
11
An hour ago, 15 minutes ago.
12
Yeah.
13
Over the weekend, we were looking at houses around Denver, and I was like, oh, when is this going to be over?
14
I'm hungry, and I'm angry that I'm hungry.
15
Usually, it's a self -fulfilling part, right?
16
It's like you're hungry.
17
You become angry because you're hungry and therefore you are hangry.
18
Exactly.
19
This is a fun word, right?
20
This is that blend of hungry and angry.
21
We'll say, well, I'm hangry, like I'm hungry and it's making me grumpy.
22
And this episode was inspired by this word
23
because one of our students told me about a misunderstanding where she asked someone
24
if they were hangry and they thought she was saying angry because the problem was she was not pronouncing the H.
25
She wasn't pushing air with the H.
26
And this happens a lot.
27
Language learners, if the H is more likely to be silent at the beginning of words in their language,
28
they won't pronounce that H and it can cause misunderstandings.
29
Yes.
30
A hundred percent.
31
Oh my gosh.
32
And I guess the other meaning for hangry could also be you're independently hungry and independently angry about something else.
33
Yeah, that's true.
34
You never know.
35
Yeah, for sure.
36
All right.
37
So let's clear this up then for our listeners pronunciation today.
38
That's great.
39
I like that we're getting into pronunciation a little bit different for all ears English, right?
40
Yeah, this is going to be great.
41
And H really is so tricky because some H's are silent in English.
42
So we're going to give three tips to help you with the pronunciation of H
43
so you know a little better when to be pushing air with that ha sound and when not.
44
So I'm excited to dive into this so you guys have some pro tips.
45
Excellent.
46
Guys, before we dive in, go ahead and hit that follow button right now.
47
We are in the height of the autumn, the fall in the U S at least,
48
um, this is the time to buckle down and focus in on your English.
49
This is a great opportunity.
50
Maybe if you're in the Northern hemisphere, the weather's getting chilly.
51
So this is a great time to be inside focusing in on your goals.
52
So hit follow.
53
All right.
54
Yes.
55
Love that.
56
Wherever you find your podcasts, be sure to hit follow.
57
So you don't miss any of our episodes and let's dive in here, Lindsay.
58
This is so interesting.
59
Yeah.
60
Yeah.
61
How do we pronounce H?
62
I mean, let's talk about it a little bit, Aubrey.
63
Yeah.
64
So sometimes it is silent in English and then sometimes we have aspiration.
65
So that means a noticeable puff or burst of air that accompanies the sound, right?
66
So we push air and go, and then that airflow just means the actual movement of air through the vocal tract.
67
So there's not vibrations of the vocal cords, but we're pushing air that can be heard audibly.
68
Okay.
69
If we put our hand up to our mouth, we should kind of feel something coming out, right, Aubrey?
70
So hungry, hangry.
71
Yes.
72
Yes.
73
Right.
74
You should feel air hit your hand if you're doing that.
75
So this H sound is called a voiceless glottal fricative is what it's called for the linguists out there.
76
But for us, what's important to know is that if we don't push air when we need to,
77
it can sound like a totally different word, like hangry versus angry.
78
And it's subtle, but it could cause a misunderstanding.
79
So it's important that you know which words the H should be silent and which words air should be aspirated.
80
Yeah, that's where this is where it gets a little tricky, right?
81
A little bit nuanced.
82
So what are some of the words where H is actually pronounced at the beginning of the word up?
83
Yeah.
84
So as a general rule, H is pronounced air is pushed at the beginning of words in English.
85
So, for example, happy, home.
86
What are a couple others, Lindsay?
87
Yeah the word hope, right?
88
Hope I can feel that air coming out of my mouth or hungry, happy home, hope hungry.
89
Yeah.
90
So a sentence with all of those is just for fun.
91
I'm happy to be home and I hope there's something to eat because I'm hungry.
92
Maybe hangry.
93
Yeah, exactly.
94
Great.
95
So that one we are asper, as we say, aspirating that air.
96
But there are a few common exceptions, right?
97
Most words in English, you do hear the H, but there are some exceptions.
98
This is what makes it tricky because sometimes you don't.
99
And the most common are honest or honestly, honor, and what else, Lindsay?
100
Yeah.
101
Hour, right?
102
So honest, honestly, honor, honorable, right?
103
Hour, hourly.
104
And there are a few others like air, the air to a kingdom spelled H -E -I -R.
105
There are a few, but that's about it.
106
There aren't very many.
107
Usually if you see H at the beginning of a word, you're going to push air when you make that sound.
108
Okay.
109
So just to reiterate for our listeners,
110
99, 98 % of the time you are pushing air for an H at the beginning of a word, right, Aubrey?
111
Exactly.
112
Let's do a fun sentence here with some of these exceptions.
113
You could say, honestly, it was an.. honor to spend an hour talking with them.
114
So as you can see, there are a few words where there is a silent H that that's really what makes us tricky.
115
There's not this rule where you can say every time you're going to push air with H.
116
Unfortunately, English doesn't make things that easy on us.
117
Right.
118
And this could be, maybe we could create this into like a series on silent letters or something.
119
That would be kind of cool because I'm thinking about the silent K
120
that comes in the beginning of a word before the end that is usually silent.
121
But anyways, thinking of new episode ideas.
122
There's so many.
123
It's really tricky.
124
There's so many.
125
We'll get into it later in the fall.
126
Guys, hit the follow button if that sounds like a good plan to you.
127
So what else do we need to know here?
128
Nice.
129
So our number two tip here is that H is also usually pronounced
130
if it begins a new syllable in the middle of a word.
131
So for example, behind, behave.
132
When I make that H sound, I'm pushing air.
133
You still have to kind of aspirate, push out the air, put your hand in front of your mouth, feel the air.
134
So behind behave in habit, I have to make that H sound inhibit or prohibit.
135
So fun sentence behind the house, we have signs that prohibit smoking.
136
Yeah.
137
And this is tricky, but there are a few exceptions.
138
This is a good pro tip.
139
All of the exceptions begin with EX.
140
So for example, exhibit, exhaust, those have an H after that EX, but it is silent.
141
It is silent.
142
Exhilarate or exhort.
143
What does exhort mean, Aabria?
144
I'm not really a...
145
Like to convince, right?
146
I would exhort you to do this means I'm trying to convince you to do something.
147
It is a pretty rare word.
148
It's not used very commonly.
149
It's pretty rare.
150
And here's an example sentence where we can hear that these are silent, right?
151
The museum exhibit was so impressive that it exhilarated visitors, but left them exhausted.
152
Yes.
153
Love it.
154
And the one exception to this is exhale, which I think it's nice that the meaning of it,
155
you're exhaling air, that H is printed.
156
This, I like did quite a bit of research.
157
I'm like, are you sure there's no other exceptions?
158
Is it always EX?
159
And this seems to be the only exception where a word that begins with EX, but the H is aspirated is that word exhale.
160
Yes.
161
Interesting.
162
Okay.
163
Good to know.
164
So there's some tricky, sticky things here about English that we have to be aware of when it comes to the H.
165
Is it silent?
166
Is it not?
167
But we've gone through some of the major guidelines, I think.
168
Right, Aubrey?
169
Yeah.
170
Okay.
171
Hey, quick question.
172
Do you want to feel more confident when you speak English?
173
If so, we made a free guide for you.
174

177
We're here five times a week to help you connect in English.
178
Okay, Aubrey, let's put this into action with a little role play.
179
So here I am asking you about a recent vacation.
180
All right.
181
All right.
182
Hey, you just got back from Hawaii, right?
183
How was it?
184
Honestly, it was great.
185
I I stayed at this little hotel near the beach.
186
Nice.
187
Did you have a good time?
188
Yeah, I was really happy to get away for a few days.
189
I spent an hour just walking along the beach.
190
That sounds relaxing.
191
Yes, it was fantastic.
192
I hope I can go back next year.
193
Yes.
194
All right.
195
Good.
196
Nice conversation here.
197
Lots of H's, but not any more than could turn out.
198
I think H is a pretty common letter in the English alphabet.
199
Comes up all the time.
200
The question is, should you be pushing error or not right?
201
And I started us with something really tricky.
202
This is a bonus that for most of the continental
203
United States, when we say Hawaii, we push air.
204
We say it just like that, Hawaii.
205
But actually on the island of Hawaii, a lot of Hawaiians don't.
206
They say Hawaii and you don't hear that air push.
207
So no wrong answer here.
208
However you say Hawaii is correct.
209
But in general, most
210
Americans who don't live in Hawaii, we do aspirate air for that word.
211
that's interesting I have I have a couple friends have had over the years two friends from Hawaii actually and I
212
but I definitely remember hearing them pronounce more of the end of the word Hawaii
213
I feel more um yeah they that's they'll make that double vowel kind of emphasis
214
but I'm not I'll have to listen in and see
215
if they pronounce the h or not I'll have to see
216
and it could be not even all Hawaiians I remember
217
I was there I went to Maui it's the only time I've ever been to Hawaii
218
and I heard a few people say it that way without the h
219
and I was like oh interesting or you will hear it in movies sometimes, but probably not everybody.
220
Like, I feel like that's probably a regional dialect thing.
221
Probably.
222
Yeah.
223
Probably.
224
Or how long they've been there or I don't know.
225
That makes sense.
226
That kind of thing.
227
So for this episode, we're teaching to pronounce the H or you can not depending on how you want to do it.
228
But then the next phrase, pretty obviously we need to pronounce the H and how.
229
How was it?
230
We can't say, ow, was it?
231
Right?
232
Right.
233
Exactly.
234
And that is a word of, if you're hurt, you say ow without any push of air.
235
So that's where this often becomes a new word if you don't push air for the H.
236
Right.
237
Someone would say, are you okay?
238
Right.
239
Are you okay?
240
Was it, wait, what?
241
What's happening?
242
What's happening?
243
And then honestly, it was great.
244
So here, is it silent or is it pronounced?
245
Honestly is one of our exceptions where it is silent.
246
So when you say honest or honestly, it's totally silent.
247
You don't aspirate any air.
248
Yeah.
249
And then I say to this little hotel near the beach here, I need to aspirate the H.
250
I can't say hotel.
251
I have to say hotel, right?
252
And this is a very common error for, because there are language like French is one where it's the same word,
253
but pronounced with a silent H hotel, just like that.
254
So that's such an easy mistake to make in English.
255
so don't make that mistake it kind of requires taking in a little bit of breath
256
because you're pushing out breath before you say it
257
so you kind of need to like prepare to say the
258
word hotel a bit more than just saying like hotel for example
259
that's true you have to have some air in your lungs in order to make
260
this sound in order to push that air out
261
so we're kind of thinking that as we're speaking preparing by taking the breaths
262
that we need exactly and then what Aubrey and I said, did you have a good time?
263
And yeah, again, whenever we say have, have, we're going to be pushing air for the H.
264
And then you said, I was really happy to get away.
265
Again, you're going to hear that H for happy.
266
I spent an hour just walking along the beach here.
267
That H is silent.
268
Hour.
269
I spent an hour.
270
And be careful not to get confused.
271
And this is so tricky because it's a homonym, right?
272
Our that's spelled O -U -R sounds exactly the same as our that starts with the H.
273
So you just have to know from context.
274
That's what I was going to say.
275
Be careful not to get it confused, right?
276
Yes.
277
Okay.
278
What's the last one?
279
And then I hope I can go back next year.
280
So yeah, whenever you say hope, make sure that you're pushing, like you said, Lindsay, that you could put your hand in front of your mouth
281
and you would feel air hit it when you push that air.
282
Exactly.
283
Great episode today.
284
Unique one.
285
I love that this question came out of our Q &A.

299

300
When to use that in English, you have likely noticed that sometimes native speakers say that sometimes they drop it.
301
So don't miss that episode for details about why.
302
Yes, love it.
303
And any final takeaway, Aubrey, that we can leave our listeners with?
304
Yeah, this is one of those things where it's not the end of the world to miss the H, but there is potential for a misunderstanding,
305
just like hangry versus angry.
306
It changes the word entirely so you can avoid that
307
if you have these tips about when to pronounce h yes love it
308

- /v/ — /b/ にならないように、上の歯を下唇に当てる: dive /daɪv/, versus /ˈvɝsəs/, convince /kənˈvɪns/, vocal /ˈvoʊ̯.kəl/, behave /bɪˈheɪv/
- /f/ — 「フ」ではなく、上の歯と下唇で出す: confused /kənˈfjuːzd/, helpful /ˈhɛlp.fl̩/, feedback /ˈfiːdˌbæk/, phrase /ˈfɹeɪ̯z/, emphasis /ˈɛmfəsɪs/
この動画での練習方法
- まず声を出さずに動画を最後まで聞き、知らない単語をメモします。
- まず0.75倍速で一文ずつシャドーイングし、慣れてきたら通常の速度に戻します。
- 自分の声を録音して元の音声と比べます。silent, hungry, exceptionなどの単語に特に注意しましょう。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
