Pronunciation 7. H / TH Elision

In this lesson, your students will:

• Discover how native speakers drop sounds like /h/ and /ð/ in fast, connected speech.
• Notice when and why these sounds disappear through short listening clips and focused tasks.
• Train their ears and polish their pronunciation to catch these reductions through repetition drills and substitution dialogues.
• Put it into practice in a realistic context where they actually use the dropped sounds.
• Start recognizing these patterns in movies/shows, songs, and learn to sound more fluent themselves.

This lesson contains 15+ exercises that raise learners’ awareness of and ability to produce /h/ and /ð/ elision in connected speech, improving their listening comprehension and spoken fluency.
