Hello!
I have some problems to detect the "h" in a lot of spoken English sentences.
What can you do for me please?

Hello,
Native French speakers are well known for not saying the h sound at all.
The h sound is a fricative, as th, sh, zh, f, v , s and z sounds. All fricatives have voiced and unvoiced pairs, except the h sound which doesn't have a voiced counterpart.
The h sound is such a small and quiet sound that it is hard to detect through microphones, and it often sounds like a speaker doesn't use the h sound when you listen to the radio, even though native speakers are actually saying the sound.

Apart from listening to native speakers, or watching special English Language TV programmes, you can also try to practise in front of a lit candle to detect "Aspirated sounds", Try the five minimal pairs (below) of words that are the same, except there is no h sound at the beginning. The first word has the h sound, the second word has not.
hear, ear
heat, eat
his, is
hitch, itch
hold, old
Good luck!
