    You're again dropping some gems here😁It will be so helpful if you can make similar short videos from the live streams. I try to keep up, but it's sometimes overwhelming. Such short videos are very helpful!

    Geoff, would you know which other languages use stopped T or stopped sounds? German has held sounds as well (called "Knacklaut"), so it's easier to understand and implement the concept of stopped T. How about Italian?

      hey Susanne! Hope you're doing well
      It's a good question that unfortunately I have no great answer for. Italian in general is going to pronounce all the consonants that appear; it may have a held sound that's been kept from me all these years, but not one I am familiar with!
      If you find an answer, let me know!

      @@FluentAmerican haha, let's ask some Italians then! Can you believe that I learned about stopped T after 30+ years of speaking the language?! 🥴
