How is H pronounced in Turkish?
(In English, medial and terminal ‘h‘ (ie, an ‘h‘ in the middle or at the end of a word) are rarely pronounced; they’re usually ‘silent’. But in Turkish ‘h‘ is ALWAYS pronounced. Your Turkish friend Ahmet’s name is pronounced a-hhh-MEHT not ‘aa-met’; the word rehber, ‘guide’, is not ‘re-ber’ but ‘reh-hh-BEHR’.
