- In this American English pronunciation lesson, I will show you how to pronounce the stop ’t’ sound in words like bat, can't, and heart, as well as compare the difference between a stop ’t’ and a silent ’t.’
Thanks to you I just found out that the stop "t" sounds the same than in Spanish the "t," thanks!
Thank you so much mam,you help me a lot.
Thank you very much

Love your videos. Your article about t sounds is amazing! So helpful!
thanks this Video was very useful for me❤️🌹
Hi there! This video is top notch. I love it! Well done! Greetings from Brazil. Thanks a bunch.
yes, helpful video, thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
5:27 Hi you said ( but i can't ) i think the letter T in the word ( but ) flap T because the next letter ( i ) vowel. or can i do both flap T and glottal T? Thank you.
You wouldn't do a glottal t. You can do either a stop t if you don't link, or a flap t if you link.

Thank you so much.
I have a question teacher, I noticed that when it comes to linking for example: (that + you, it comes, not + for, get + you) the t isn't made with the tongue tip touching the roof of the mouth but it looks like it's more made with the part of the tongue that's further back and the tongue tip remaining down, to summarize, with the glottis in the throat, is that right?
That can be the case, yes! The longer I teach the more I learn that sounds aren’t always made the same way, things change a lot based on what comes next or what is easiest for each individual.
thanks a lot but i have a question is it necessary to lift up the tongue
most teachers say that you lift your tongue but a little say you don't have to you can simply just stop the air with your throat and it sounds the same as if with the tongue so is it wrong like that or what?
As long as it is understandable, whatever is easier works! I can make "cat" sound exactly the same either way, but someone else may find it easier one way over the other.
okay thanks
This is great..... I have a question please.....This stop t is different from glottal t.... isn't it?
If so.. can I pronounce t at the end as a glottal t? For example, bat.... Pot....
@@NoorAhmed-xs7od They're the same thing.
I don't know but when I hear car and cart the second one the vowel changes a little bit in my ears it becomes narrower
13:33 you said OK
/ˌoʊˈkeɪ/ like /ˌmˈkeɪ/ why, Thank you.
Haha, that's funny I never thought about that. It's just another filler word we can use the same as OK.

What about the t in want , is it silent?
Great question! Silent isn't quite the right to explain it because the stop t is there. It's a very small difference in sound, for example between "won" (short o sound, n) and "want" (short o sound, n, stop t).
I have a video for the word "don't" on my instagram that may help:

What's the difference between glottal T and Stop T? Don't you close your vocal cords when making both sounds?
The stop t, you are stopping the sound with your tongue. The glottal stop is in the throat. I go into this in more detail here if you want to know more:

Is the Stop T the same as the Dropped T?
Not quite! If you think of the word "bat" which has a stop t, there is still something happening with the tongue going up and stopping the "a" sound, even if you don't fully pronounce the "t".
If you completely "dropped" the t then the "a" sound could continue, with the tongue down and the word would just sound like "baah" like a sheep. ;)
yo anybody wants to practice speaking skills?
İs ment a stop t?
Yes! When we say "meant" or "mint" we generally don't have that puff of air coming out like with a hard "t" sound.
Hablas muy, pero muy rápido y no permites seguir lo que explicas. Entiendo que quieras comunicarte pero parece que si eres precisa y planificado objetivos te quedará más tiempo en recor,af el concepto.. Gracias
