For example this wine, how do I pronounce this…Le Boheme?
Le Boheme.
Oh, okay Le Boheme, like “poem” but with a “B”?
No, the “H” is silent.
I didn’t pronounce the “H”…Boheme.
Yes you did…you gave it attention, listen…Boheme, Boheme…
Boam? Balm?
No, listen…Boheme…you’re excluding the “H” altogether now.
Bow mm?
No, you’ve dropped the “H” altogether now.
Yea, you said it was silent—
Yes, silent but still present like jealousy—
What?!
Listen, you have to ignore the “H” but let the “H” know you are ignoring it; that although it is there you have chosen to not include it. Be aware but also forget while you remember.
That’s stupid.
Try it…Boheme…Boheme…
Boheme
Boheme…
Boheme
Boheme…
I’m stopping now
Boheme…
French is stupid and annoying the fuck out of me; I don’t want to do this anymore.
That just means you’re finally ready to speak it…Boheme…
