[5/100 days of productivity]

June 22 2018

It’s officially summer! I’m moving back to UCLA on sunday for summer sessions, I feel like this week has been really long but also really short hmm. I didn’t do much at all lol but it felt well deserved. 

I’m also still waiting on some of my grades to be put in!! ALSO I GOT A NEW IPHONE because my 6s stopped charging and then died so now I have a shiny new iphone 8 in gold :-) but I bought it with my own money so my wallet is feeling really skinny 

on another note my friend is giving me his MCAT study books so…I’ll be studying this summer…things are getting reAL

The “H Aspiré” is a really amazing part of the French language where specific “h”s that start a word cannot realize the liaison from the preceding word AND will not follow the “l + ‘+ h” pattern when preceded by a definite article (for example : le héros is correct but l’héros is not)

The “H Aspiré” (mostly) comes from Germanic languages where certain words were brought into the French language and therefor the “h” was “aspirated” (which was actually a voiceless glottal fricative until the 17th century). While linguists refer to the “H Aspiré” as “aspirated,” the “h” is no longer realized in speech and makes no sound.

**In quick speech, Francophones may accidentally make the liaison between a word and an “H Aspiré”.
