Coffee Break French

Join Mark and Max for this special episode of Coffee Break French, where we're talking about something a bit different. 

We receive emails and messages all the time asking us "where should I start?", so we thought we'd answer that in this episode. We share details about how Coffee Break French first started back in 2007 - and all of the French resources we have released since then.

We hope you enjoy hearing about the history of Coffee Break, with a few secrets revealed along the way!

Coffee Break French - All You Need To Know

Join Max for a coffee break in which he will guide you through one tricky point of French pronunciation: the difference between h muet (silent h) and h aspiré (aspirated h). 🤔

You’ll learn how words like l’homme (the man) link smoothly thanks to a silent h, while words like le héros 🦸 (the hero) create a pause because of the aspirated h. With clear examples and simple explanations, this lesson will help you recognise the difference and sound more natural when speaking French.
