/h/

The /h/ sound in English is a voiceless glottal fricative, which means it’s a sound made with the vocal folds in your throat (the glottis) and no vocal cord vibration. Here’s how you pronounce it:

• Position your vocal folds: The /h/ sound is glottal, which means it’s made by letting air pass through a narrow space between your vocal folds.
• Voicing: The /h/ sound is a voiceless consonant, meaning your vocal cords do not vibrate when you produce this sound. You should not feel any vibration if you lightly touch the front of your throat while saying the sound.
• Release the sound: Start by pushing air out from your lungs. The air should flow out continuously between your vocal folds, producing the /h/ sound.
