Sound drill: forbidden liaison and h aspiré
P45.pronunciation-drills.08 · Audience: guest, language-pro, it-ml · Prerequisites: Sound drill: obligatory liaison
Unité PO-10 · campagne 6 · et‿… jamais.
Once you start linking words, the danger flips: a liaison in the wrong place is as foreign as a missing one. French never links after et, and never into a word beginning with an h aspiré — a written h that behaves like a consonant and blocks the join, so les héros stays open, never les‿héros. In the model, et une histoire keeps its gap and héros blocks the liaison — force that small silence.
Say: Un roman et une histoire de héros.
