There are two types of h in French: the silent h and the aspirated h. So what is the difference? 😔 Unfortunately, there is no general rule to memorise. ✅ My advice: learn nouns starting with h with a definite article. That way, you will know whether the h is silent or aspirated. The silent h acts as a vowel and you need to do the liaison with the word which comes before. For example: un homme, une histoire. (A man, a history/story) If you use a definite article, then you need to use l’ instead
