The thread about pronouncing 'h', and other pronunciation problems, seems to
have missed the most important part of learning correct pronunciation. First
you start with listening. At first the student won't be able to differentiate
between saqy, 'men and man', but gradually, as he learns to hear the
difference, it is easier for him to learn how to form his mouth and make the
difference. And yes, it is important. It is very confusing to students if
they think that it is ' 1 men' '2 men'. Why, then, is the singular written
with an 'a'?
