How is the /H/ made?
This sound is a voiceless sound and is made with the vocal folds approximating in the larynx in the throat (so you can’t see it!). The jaw is relaxed and the teeth are apart.
Who needs to work on this sound?
Some speakers drop this sound altogether, so ‘haphazard’ becomes ‘ap’azard’, ‘Harry’ becomes ‘arry’ and ‘how high’ becomes ‘ow eye’. If you do this then exercising this consonant sound is vital to your development of a Standard English pronunciation.
