The correct way to pronounce 'hen' is "h-eh-n" with a short, unstressed "e" sound in the middle. Here are some additional points to keep in mind when pronouncing 'hen':
- 'Hen' is a one-syllable word, so it should be pronounced quickly and clearly.
- The initial 'h' sound should be aspirated, meaning you should exhale slightly as you say it.
- The vowel sound in 'hen' is similar to the sound in the word 'pet' or 'ten', but it's not quite as short or sharp. The tongue should be relaxed and in the middle of the mouth.
- To practice saying 'hen', try saying "heh" and then adding the "n" sound at the end without pausing.
Overall, the pronunciation of 'hen' is relatively simple, but it's important to get the vowel sound right in order for listeners to understand what you're saying.
