The Letter 'H' in Spanish 

Although it is not pronounced, the letter 'h' appears in the spelling of many words in Spanish, it might appear at the beginning or in the middle of the word, between vowels and consonants and it is silent in all these positions. For example:

There are words that have been borrowed into Spanish from other languages and include the letter 'h'. In such cases, the letter is pronounced as the sound /h/ in the English word "home" or like the sound /x/ in the Spanish word "gente". For example:

When the letter is combined with the letter 'c', a digraph is formed which has a special sound of its own. It is pronounced as /tʃ/, as in the English word 'champion'. Still, here too, the letter 'h' does not have a sound of its own and it is the combination of letters that makes the sound.
