The importance of pronouncing the H sound in English

In this podcast episode, the speaker discusses the importance of pronouncing the H sound in English. While some languages may not have an H sound or require its pronunciation, in English, it is crucial to pronounce the H sound unless it is one of the five exceptions mentioned: honor, honest, air, herbs, and hours. The speaker emphasizes the need to practice and repeat words with H to ensure accuracy. Additionally, the episode covers the aspirated sounds of P, T, and K at the beginning of words, explaining that they are accompanied by a short H sound, which should be pronounced to improve clarity and avoid misunderstandings.
