Do you pronounce the h in where?
Originally Answered: Do you pronounce the h in words like which, where, etc? The short answer is, yes. But the sound, as you probably know, is at the beginning of the pronounced word, as in ‘hwich’ or ‘hwere’. Many speakers do not sound the H but and it makes little difference to most people’s understanding.
Is the T silent in exactly?
When the T and D sounds come between two other consonant sounds, many Americans will drop them. But when we add the -ly ending, it now comes between two consonants. You’ll hear a lot of native speakers say ‘exactly‘, with no T sound. Exactly, exactly.
Is the C silent in schedule?
The word “schedule” can be somewhat confusing, even for native speakers. The reason is that it is pronounced differently in the UK and in the US. In the UK, the prevalent pronunciation is /ˈʃɛdjuːl/ (shed-yool), while the prevalent pronunciation in the US is /ˈskɛdʒuːl/ (skedzh-ool).
