Consonant Sound /h/.
CONTENT:
The /h/ sound only occurs before a vowel. It is produced by expelling air from the mouth (not the mouth). The sound is therefore not voiced. If you can blow out a candle with your mouth open, you can easily produce the /h/ sound. Some Nigerians do not have the /h/ sound in their own language. Other speakers sometimes ‘drop’ the /h/, or use it in the wrong place. Listen and repeat:
Ear hear
ill hill
eel heel
eating heating
eye high
old hold
Where h is voiced e.g. house, help, hen, etc. Voiceless – hour, honor, hones, etc)
/h/ voiced – house, home, harrow hat, help, hen , harrow, horse, hospital etc.
/h/ voiceless- hour, honor, hones, heir, hair etc
