Problem is not English but how it is taught. You are a good teacher,which is not something that all teachers can say to be. I’m still a learner but I realise so well how my teachers were crap. They focused on exercises instead of on spoken English. Practise is what it matters,not being good at doing exercises.
Well, I fancy speaking English with a glottal stop, which is transcribed or symbolised /ʔ/ in the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet), relating to or produced by the glottis. It is commonly used by Brits, especially who speak English with Cockney Accent. It is really popular in the United Kingdom.
As an American, I hear the glottal t most often in words with t or tt in the middle, often in progressive and past tense constructions like putting ("pu'-ing") and knitted ("ni'-ed). I hear it a lot from African-Americans and maybe in some regional accents (St. Louis?, Utah?). In one FB group I'm in, an older woman from the Midwest posted that she hears ir a lot from younger woman and girls in her area (Iowa/Nebraska) ... and finds it quite annoying ;) ).
Hello professor Thank you so much for your priceless advice and interesting guidance. I love your way of teaching and excellent explanation. I really appreciate your job. I wish you peace and happiness under the sky of prosperity. Your Student from Algeria.
In IELTS listening,, I listen that majority teachers use glottal T / stop. For instance, Britain, statement, apartment, Department etc. I am Bangladeshi, I also use glottal T in speaking test.
Hello professor I love your Glottal Sound It seems amazing and interesting. I really appreciate your job. Thank you so much for your priceless advice and interesting guidance. I wish you peace and health. Your Student from Algeria.
Thank you! Can you make another video about glottal stop in place of p and k sound? I'm so interested in it. However, I can't find another video like this on UA-cam. Thanks!
Thank u so much sir l really liked your explanation 🎉It's the be?er lesson i listen to thanks a lot again and l wish if you make a video about connected speech 🎉
Great job! I really appreciated your video. But I have a question: is it possible to nasalise the 't' in words like internet, international, santa, winter etc, in British English? Is this a kind of assimilation also common in any region of the UK?
This was interesting. As a Canadian native English speaker, in most of the cases you so carefully described, Canadians would NOT use the glottal stop. For example, we would never use the glottal stop in the middle of "Britain" or "butter." In those words, many Canadians would use the "tapped" t like the Americans (sounds like "budder"). Others would really say the "t", not use the glottal stop. But now I have understood something about how to mimic an English accent, which is a party trick people sometimes try to do! Just goes to show the diversity of the English language.
By the way, thanks for giving me the proper terminology for the tapped t (sounding like d). For years, I never thought I had an accent. My parents being from Michigan (Dad) & southern California (Mom), living overseas as an "embassy brat for 5 out of my first 7 years, living in California for 5 years (ages 7-12), moving to the Mid-Atlantic, going to college with a lot of kids from the NY Metro area, & living for over 50 years in the Baltimore-Washington area, ... I always thought of my generic American accent as "unaccented" . Then I read Thomas Friedman on Indian help center phone workers being taught to slur their t sounds into d sounds in certain situations. Saying those tapped "t"s as "proper" t sounds make me sound like an RP speaker. Son of a bitch! I have an accent!!!
Today's video has been amazing, only one thing I would like how could I train the glottal sound? As you probably know this sound is completely new tor some of us and we need to train it but how?
Say uh uh uh uh really fast. You can't say vowels in a row without stopping the sound so it works with any vowel. Do you know the song "Staying Alive?" "Ah ah ah ah Stayin' alive Stayin' Alive" Every time you sing that, you're using a glottal stop. 😊
Passed my mind, you gonna start mixing while teaching other people. It happen sometimes when we teach other we start doing same thing because of regular repetitions.
Thank you very much. I was confused about this T sound and you made it clearer. Greetings from Colombia.
you are a good teacher
I watched this video thrice and the last part of this video is keeping me motivated. Thanks a bunch.

That's right, you've got it!

Ok, maybe I can talk about that in another video

Do you know the song "Staying Alive?" "Ah ah ah ah Stayin' alive Stayin' Alive"
Every time you sing that, you're using a glottal stop. 😊
How do you pronounce 'here'? Thanks a lot!
Why did not win'er in winter?
As far as I think glottalization is last step to perfect native accent
Passed my mind, you gonna start mixing while teaching other people. It happen sometimes when we teach other we start doing same thing because of regular repetitions.
How do you tell between can and can’t
I have a video about that right here: ua-cam.com/video/0ph6_pnwxpo/v-deo.html :-)
👍👍👍👍
Can You make a video on the 'R' concept I am really confused ಠ︵ಠ
Sure, that's a good idea
no special comment from me because uhh I'm too small for understanding what global bal is..... so yeah
The t in nineteen, albo be glottal t?
Normally the t in nineteen is pronounced as a full t
It’s just too difficult🤣
The Glottal Stop is a lazy mans yodel. ;)
Hhhhh
Yes ! Bc they butchers the fck out of our native tongue lol 😆
