Congratulations from Brazil! For us Brazilians the "Flap T /ɾ/" sounds more like a fast "R" than a "d". Your videos are astonishing. I would like to see an explanation of "reductions" in American English.

Hi, according to the rule on stop t, is it safe to say that the t in “Scotland” is a stop t? Thank you so much and I love learning from you to improve myself!❤

[@SanDiegoVoiceandAccent]

Hi @lwkbilly - Yes, I usually pronounce "Scotland" with a stop T :) Thanks for the comment!
