Some letters are more mysterious than others. Such is true of the Spanish H.
This is because the H in Spanish is always silent when it begins a word. So every word from hola (hello) and hombre (man) to hogar (place) and hambre (hunger) would sound exactly the same without the H.
So why is it there? Well, for one, so you know the critical difference between hola (hello) and ola (wave) when reading.
The Spanish H does get pronounced sometimes, when it’s combined with C, like in chica (girl) and cheque (check), but in this post, we’re focusing only on words that begin with H.
