Coffee Break French

We’re back with another Coffee Break French espresso lesson, and this time we’re taking a stroll through one of the most atmospheric parts of the season: les marchés de Noël! 🎄

It’s the perfect episode for getting into the holiday spirit while improving your French.

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.
