This is the best for American English pronunciation channel. I am loving and you are helping me a lot to reduce my accent.
One of the toughest sounds ever. Still can't do produce it properly. It gets me frustrated. But THANK YOU, Rachel, again for your wonderful work on pronunciation. You're the best English teacher ever!
You are a VERY GOOD TEACHER in English.
This is much needed, even for native English speakers. I have noticed that some speakers, particularly young people, say "dinnent" instead of "didn't," and similarly "shunnent" instead of "shouldn't," "cunnent" instead of "couldn't," and so on. Grates on me
Awesome! Thanks for sharing with your students!
Best,
Rachel
@Charles55661 Great! Thanks for spreading the word!
Your trainer is probably producing a stop T and you're not hearing it because he/she produces it slightly differently than you're used to. If the vowel sound is clipped or short, that is an extra clue that the T is there as a stop.
you're the better teacher that i have had. thank you a lot.
TRULY GOOD EXPLANATION. Thanks for working so hard in order to help us
You're very welcome @IngridRodriguez-vf7po!

Fausto Vs You're welcome!
Rachel, I adore your lessons) Thank you very much!
you are so great Rachel... thanks for your useful videos, greetings from Colombia
Just came by from your other video of contractions, I really enjoyed watching the IPA on that video wished this would´ve have it too ... the nt sounds with tongue and soft palate was wonderful to learn
Great video!. This one is really good. Love the side drawing to show the pronuntation mechanics, that helps a lot to mimic the sounds.
Great teaching.
Thank you!
Oh my God, you are so amazing, this channel is helping me a lot, THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH!!!
Thank you so much i learned a lot of things i didn't when i was in my school
Thanks Rachel, Again, very useful !
@Ivlbg It's hard to say, I would have to hear you. As long as you are making a short, cut off sound with the stop T, you're probably doing fine!
Rachel
that's very helpful now my pronunciation is correct thank you very much
You're welcome Carlos!
You are amazing, I really appreciate you for taking out the time from your life to make these awesome videos. Thank you very much. Love from Italy.
Thank you so much. Every time I pronounce 'Haven't' I found it is hard to pronounce. Your class really helps me!!
Thank you Rachel, my ESL class practiced their pronunciation with your video today! it was wonderful.
Genius, finally understood can/can't - this video is indeed essential for that. Thank you! :)
@Ivlbg I do teach through skype. Unfortunately there is a waiting list at the moment, but if you wanted to be put on a waiting list, I'd be happy to do that . See the 1-on-1 link on my website for details.
I like you so much your pronunciation is very correct and you are good teacher

Hi Rafael, I don't have any DVDs. But I do have some audio training material on my website as part of a Premium membership if you want more to work with.
This is great!
I'm loving your videos! You could touch on the regional variance of the pronunciation "cuh-INT" for "couldn't" for example (I know I'm not spelling that correctly) but how a lot of young people stress an "INT" and the end of words with "n't"
I´m brazilian and I´m really glad you´d posted all those videos! that´s been helping me a lot since I started teaching English... Thank you very much!!! Do you have any DVD or something that I could purchase?? XOXO!!!!
Amazing! Thanks 🙂
You're welcome Cleomar!

@Farzad Thanks!
Rachel I love all your videos! :D are really helpful! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much. I love all your videos.
I
Thanks so much. I have been waiting for this video!
In my teaching experience, this is not a problem. You're probably doing it fine. More of a problem is when people don't raise it for certain vowel sounds.
thank you so much for d video ..... its very helpful for me........
You are the best
*Rachel* I have a question the word *Wouldn't* Does any have *Flapping (d)* ?
@samurai50062 Yes, I think I would still spell it 'wouldn't have' but it would be pronounced ['wʊ də nəv]
Hi Rachel for me all the contractions are good but the "isn't" sounds like "is in"
It's so hard but thank you you're a good teacher !!
I am so glad to have found your channel! I am not a professional orthoepist, but I am a professional, classically trained musician, so I pick up on minutiae in people's pronunciation of words that would probably just go unnoticed by other people. What I want to ask you about has to do with the American English "nt" contractions, specifically in the words couldn't, didn't, shouldn't and wouldn't. However, I want to back up by one letter, and ask you about the letter D in those words(in the case "didn't", I'm only asking about the second D). Here's where I might not be able to use the correct terminology, so I hope you're able to know what I'm talking about... Have you noticed a generational difference in the way these words are pronounced by native English speakers? What I mean is that people under a certain age(it seems to be millennials and younger) pronounce these words differently. They pronounce it in such a way that the D is not just a nasal consonant, but rather, a fully articulated D. For example: when they say the word "didn't", they fully articulate the second D exactly as they do the first D, so it comes out something like "diddint". Do you know what I'm talking about? Am I crazy, and just hearing things?!?!😃
Tan Bonita mi profesora. 🤗
You rock!
@oidualclaudi0 Good question, I hadn't thought of that. But yes, I would say the sound is the same.
Hi, Rachel.
You´re great.
Could you, please...make a list of final T words pronounciation?
Pedro Paulo
Great videos! Thanks for sharing. Regards, S
Teacher you are gorgeous.
I loved the intro Hahahaha
Hi Rachel can u please make a vedio on how to pronounce aren't
Hello rachel your lesson is wonderful . can you teach us phrasal verbs ?
You are very funny a teacher!!
Obrigada!!!
Hello from Brazil, Rachel. Thank you for the wonderful videos. I'd like to know where you are from originally and if you think you have a regional accent.
@banerplayboy You don't need to say the T twice.
very good teaching I really tried to keep out of some more on these type of videos but here I am convinced that's it is worth the while thanks soon I'll share, after seeing more and resisting less ho!ho!
I was hoping that can / can't was just another example of this n't sound. It would make perfect sense.
What about the words like wanted to or granted ? Should we omit the t and pronounce like waned , graned?
Hello Rachel..could you please tell me how to say ..I didn't ....is the secound d ( didn't ) sound soften ? ..please help me with this
That makes sense!
Hi teacher I'm David I'm from Congo, this is a good secret because sometimes I didn't understand my boss.
so cute! when you make the "N" nasal sound! ....
Creepy
Great video. I find it really difficult to pronounce "have" after the auxiliary verbs, like "wouldn't have", " could have", etc.. Can you make a video to explain that?
Perfecto!
Thank you so much for this video, it's really helpful. Does this rule apply also on words like "student"?
So is it an actual glottal stop, or just partly?
one more question, is this quick /n/ the same one as in words like 'button' or 'cotton'? to me, in 'front' or 'shouldn't' the /n/ is first pronounced normally at the mouth linked to the previous sound (I feel the /n/ sound in my tongue tip on the roof of the mouth) and after cutted off by the stop T; on the other hand, in 'button' the stop T comes first and after this quick /n/ occurs only in the nose (I don't feel it in my tongue tip since this is just in the position of the stop T). so they don't seem to be exactly the same sound, but your explanation on it not being like any other sound confused me a bit, since to me it's just a cutted off /n/ sound (I can see your tongue behind your top front teeth making the sound on the video before you cut it off with the stop T), not an unfamiliar occurrence as the quick /n/ in 'button' is.
besides, when I think of the 'can't' matter, it seems like sometimes this 'n't' of it IS the same quick /n/ of 'button', as if I pronounced /kæ/ and after skipped to that button quick /n/ without making the stop T on the roof of the mouth. can you clarify my thoughts in that question? sorry for the rant and thank you so much!
u r amazing
You are a great teacher, thank you. (and you have beautiful eyes :) )
omg! It's so hard to pronounce "didn't" ,sometimes I listen songs and I'm not notice when the singer sings "didn't" because it sounds is so weird. :(
It'll be natural one day, just keep on!
@@O_jack no it isnt because you americans dont know how to pronounce the letter T
@@molamola5260 , I'm not American 😄
Just pronounce it diden
Gotye somebody u used to know has didnt in the lyrics
I hadn't realized how I spoke English, it's no wonder that many of my students don't understand me :) I will show your video to them, and see how many want to quit hehe :)
Hi Rachel! For plural form “patientS” /'peiʃǝntS/, /-t-/ sound comes between two other consonants, /-t-/ can be dropped when speaking. Will it be ['peiʃǝnS] or ['peiʃǝnZ]? Must I keep the original pronunciation of -S /-s/ or change it into /-z/ after/n-/ ? Tks so much.
Hi! Yes, the T will be dropped in that situation, and you'll keep the original sound of the S consonant - it won't become a Z consonant sound. Great questions!
Really nice Rachel, thank so much, By the way, I have seen this word:"" wouldn't've""
This word is very difficult for pronunciation. Is this word ok or wrong?
I am watching this 11years letter. she is beautiful 👩🏫
Thanks Myu!
