What is the difference glottal t like mountain , fountain , curtain , written , forgotten , important , sentence And between stop t like lot , rat , pat , foot , is the position of the tongue the same ?
Hi Rachel, could you please make a video on how to pronounce and use the following words in a sentence? (going on/goin' on, advantage, mountain, fountain, sentence) Thank you!!!
There are many sounds in English that do not exist in my language. One of my favorite English sounds is the glottal T sound that can be found in words such as gluten , Latin, important, cotton, button, eaten, mountain, monotonous, latency, and so on.

That this video is for free on youtube is just unfair, it´s a masterpiece. Thank you, Rachel. I´m an English teacher in Brazil. You helped me a lot.
Miss Rachel, I'm so happy to found you!!! I already spent a lot of times searching on Internet for content such as; accent, grammar, didactic and tips for American English and finally found you. I'm Brazilian guy and I try to discipline me to study, learn, improve day by day. Certally you can be proud and happy over all you develop. Kindly Julio Oliveira
Honestly, this video has confirmed my suspicions from a long time ago. As a learner, it’s a relieve to know that if your not emphasizing the tense of the verb as it’s not the main topic of the sentence, it is possible to drop the “t” sound. It makes linking words, specifically 2 consonants, easier to do so. I’m very looking forward to the other 2 videos as this what cause me headaches all the time when I’m to self-conscious about my pronunciation. Thank you so much for the work, you’ve save me from some future headaches
This is a really good advise... I can compliment it saying that this is something that is gonna appear spontanously when you speak, but knowing this gave us as students the confidence enough that we are doing thigs wright and we are not forgetting/missing somethig in our peonunciation... Thanks so much Rachel ! You're a brilliant teacher
Learning English is an endless task. By far learning this verb's ed sounds is the most complex thing to learn because it needs to become second nature... Thank you Rachel for all your efforts and for being such natural teacher. God bless you!
You're voicing something I've realized before as a non-native speaker, but always thought I was reading too much into it. You're epic, thanks so much for helping us and freeing our minds 🤗
I'm a native speaker of American English, and what Rachel is saying is inaccurate. I hear the "d" sound at the end of those words everytime. I can understand how a foreigner may have a little difficulty hearing it, though. Again, as a native, I always hear the "d" sound. It is subtle, yet still pronounced.
@@slowanddeliberate6893 I believe you really hear it. The trick is, even if you hear it it doesn't mean that it exists. Native speakers are able to do "phonemic restoration" (Perceptual restoration) i.e. restoring in their mind sounds that do not actually present in speech. It's a widely known phenomena in linguistics, and it exists in any language. And English is well known as a source of many examples of this phenomena (actuallyy, all those researches started from English). Basically, that's why we are able to communicate with different people with different accents and vocal tracts, also it allows us to recognize speech in noisy environment.
@@stnhndg Repeat the phrase to yourself. First, pronounce the phrase pretending there is no "ed" at the end. Then, pronounce the phrase as it is. You should hear a difference. For instance. "I worked there for 3 years" does not sound exactly like "I work there for 3 years". Any native English speaker should hear a difference when listening closely.
@@slowanddeliberate6893 It would be a bad idea, since I'm a not a native english speaker, and I don't speak English ) I've downloaded audio from the video and analyzed it with my soft.

Ok. I've had it. Are you doing like Google, Rachel? I mean, have you been listening to my conversations and creating videos for me? I can't believe it!!! An american, who works with me, kind of consulting, me and my students, just told me last week that I over pronounce the ED endings. Especially the /t/ sound. Damn it! I've been tormenting my students for such a long time to pronounce "workT" insted of "workED" that I have developed this over pronunciation of the /t/ sound. Please, enlight us, Guru Rachel. Love you. (With all due respect)
I'm bk , i'm going to pass the toefl test in less than one months , your ytube channel is the light that I was looking for keep doing it Rachel . You are what I need and what we need. Love you. Big kiss from Bk
Best video ever on the dreadful -ed endings pronunciation. English is, in fact, an opaque language when it comes to pronunciation. Thank you for the great practical lesson.
Do you know how many years I've been wondering about this? If I had to go back and do it all over again, I would have watched this video on my knees. 😭 I LOVE YOU
I think this happens because t and d are pretty similar so there's no need to repeat the same consonant. The same happens in spanish with the "a" in words such as Milpa alta or portaaviones.
Not really, it happened because the preceeding constant is unvoiced so we say the following constant unvoiced. Its difficult to keep switching between voiced and unvoiced consonants when speaking, especially quickly. The same thing happens in German with voiced and unvoiced consonants. I dont know much about Spanish so im only commenting on the English part.
We do both, drop the T sound of the “Ed” most of the time before “The” and sometimes we do pronounce it. The general rule is a bit complex because it has to do with emphasis&rhythm and these two depend on the intent and effect that we want to give a specific sentence. Also when we run out of air at the “Ed” we unlink the Ed from “the” so we do pronounce the T sound in that case.
@@maynorlopez4732 this is true if the past tense in “Ed” in many cases. Except when we emphasize the past for a specific reason (then it almost sounds like a T) and when the following sound (after Ed) is a vowel sound. Examples: “explained by” would sound “explain by” unless we mean to emphasize that it is a past action which would sound approximately “explainnnnttt by the author”
At 7:30 I hear that is"I watched the best movie last night" but the subtitle is"I watched the best move last night". But this tiny sand is not affected the efficient. This video help me a lot. Thanks, Rach.
Oh my gosh!!! My amazing teacher may God bless you more about teaching us like that coz we do have issues understanding other American words though you taught us Then we understood everything about it keep up the good work!!
Rachel, you are more than awesome! Now I feel a lot more comfortable when my students question me about "not hearing" the final "t" in those ED endings.
I havent seen like you in online still now, really you are understand English is difficult b/c it is second language but you teach the word repeatedly so I understand the word what you say. thanks a lot.
In my case, when I'm reading, I pronounce every words even though knowing when I can drop or put a flap "t or d". It's like an habit to me but now I will do this. Thank you, Rachel 😃
You are really the best English teacher 👍👍 I owe you for my american accent in less than one year, I'm grateful for that I've noticed that for most (undropped T) they were either stressing the word or they were taking a breath to say the second sentence.
Very common problem for Spanish speakers like me. We tend to pronounce the ed ending because in Spanish a word without full endings would not make any sense. Thanks. Liking your work!
This Rachel's series are unequal to any other resource I've even seen on the web! It's helping me a lot. Thanks you! Suggestion for video: pronunciation of "you'll", "we'll", "they'll".
I'm the beginner for learning eEnglish. for me, you are the best teacher in online. when I found out your youtube, I understand american accents. that it not easy. thank you
I love this video. I found it very entertaining and educational. On the one hand she taught us about the rules that always have been mentioned. On the other hand, she's like "well now you know the rules, but, let's listen to some real American accent" haha I love it. Thanks.
Oh, thank you! I wondered why they dropped the ''t'' sometimes, I even tried to slow down some videos because I thought they were doing it so smoothly that I couldn't hear it. I was convinced that the problem was my hearing hahaha
We were in the same boat, Leticia. But now Rachel saved our day! BTW, are you an English teacher in Brazil? Well, I am. And I'm so thankful to Rachel......
Hi Leticia, yes, it's difficult as an instructor to teach the rule, but then tell students that we, as American speakers, don't actually use it all the time. This is a great video.
Exactly, grammatically we learned those endings, but colloquial English is another story. Good to learn and listen to the examples. This requires careful listening and deep study, not everybody is able to realize these phonetic phenomena.
Voila!Another golden vid! G job,Rachel! Here is the thing. Firstly,I guess many Amerian natives dont realize the fact that they sometimes leave out the -ed sound w/o even thinking about it for a wink when talking fast. Secondly.this interesting phonic fact NEVER finds me well,though I have spent 10+ yrs learning English(never been to English-speaking country tho)! Thank u again ,Rachel!
Great observations! I suppose this might be more helpful for teachers, than students, since the actual pronunciation of all sounds is important in the *learning* process, but with time and practice, it's acceptable to modify the pronunciation. In Spanish, we hear plenty of variations on this concept, depending on country or region. Frustrating at first, but amusing now.
Yours is also a great observation! As an ESL teacher for Spanish speakers, there is no chance I'm telling my students about this cause the moment they hear reductions are possible, that's it! They'll be like "oh so you're saying the ending is optional?". Maybe only true advanced students who have started noticing some pronunciation "inconsistencies" in native speech.
I've been waiting for this video for a long time I love the whole video please teach us more how linking words in the past...Thank you a lot from Colombia
I'm glad to see this video. Years ago, I used to say the same thing and got teased for it, even sent to the ESL Inquisition, haha! It was tough for some teachers to accept it. Guess some folks just can't handle the truth from a humble non-native speaker. But now, with the pronunciation GOAT herself blessing it, the teasing can officially end 😇. Seriously though, for a sec I thought my ears were playing tricks or I was losing my mind. Rachel, you're an absolute legend. Keep rockin' that American English pronunciation teaching! 👍
As a native English speaker of 27 years attempting to learn French, wow, I wanted to scream at this and how nuanced this is! But Insanely accurate!! Never have I thought about this before! A tip for learners and something I picked up on every example given: tone and rates of speech. If you're talking faster, you're naturally going to drop the double letter (t or d) into a consonant, or as others have pointed out, excitement level (as in watching the best movie last night) which also comes down to rate of speech. But ultimately, this is super nit-picky, don't fret over this in the slightest. If this is your focus you're well on your way to fluency if not already there 😄
I started to worry because she has a series of three videos talking about this topic and I´ve been waiting for this series since I started watching her videos. my question is: do you agree with everything she teaches on this video and do this on your daily basis? I'd love to hear your opinion on this.
Hi Rachel, how are you doing? I'm so happy to here that native English speakers drop the "ED" ending sound, since I'm struggling with it. After 2 months working with ELSA (thanks againg for the recommendation), I have a conclusion: these sounds are giving me a bit hard time: Ending "ed" Ending "ing" Short "i" "d3" this is my nightmare. But this are good news for me, because now I know which sounds I need to work with a little bit harder. Thank you very much Rachel. Never stop doing such a wonderful work.
I think that happens in almost every language. That double-consonant sound is sometimes 'difficult' to pronounce, it takes some effort if you will and breaks the flow of the discourse. So people naturally and unconsciously drop one off the consonant sounds
Om my gosh Rachel. Thank you so much for the video. Now all my questions regarding ed ending words was over. I regretted the fact that I didn't watch this video after I learned some theories about it after years of knowing it. I mean I watched some other UA-camrs also but not as good as your teaching lesson. It could have been better if I had watched this one first 😅 hence your videos are so fenomenal. You know what you're doing, Rachel. And you did such a really good job! Thank you so much!
Rule 1 : unvoice ending= t∫, f, k, p, s, sh , th 1) t∫ 6:38 light T ( Vowels) 7:13 drop T , light T ( Consonants) 2) f 9:07 light T 9:14 Drop T , light T 3) k 9:51 light T 10:03 Drop T , Light T 4) p 11:02 light T 11:23 Drop T , light T 12: 26 t sound ending+ followed by you/ your = t can because Ch 5) S 13:13 light T 13:20 Drop T , light T 6) SH 14:40 light T 15:00 drop T , light T 7) TH 15:31 light T 16:20 Drop T , light T 3:28 Rule 1
Unvoiced sounds (P, K, f, S, SH, CH, X and th) - There is no vibration of the vocal cords. Hard for you? Go to Rachel's Academy. She'll tell you everything about unvoiced sounds.
Notes for me 1st rule 1:35 If the sound before the ED ending is invoiced, then the ED ending becomes T. All unvoiced sounds : [ tʃ, f, k, p, s, ʃ, θ, t, n] In American English, we can drop a T, when it comes between two consonants. For all of the words in this category, if the ED word is at the end of the sentence, we will pronounce this T. If ED word is linking into a word that begins with a vowel or diphthong, we will lightly realize the T into the word, connecting the words. If the next word begins with the consonant, many times, native speakers will drop the T sound. CH (tʃ), : I watched the movie last night. F (f): I stuffed the blanket into the bag K (k): kicked the P (p): I hoped it would be better 12:15. When a word ends in a T sound, which all of these do (т.е. все слова которые мы разобрали оканчиваются на T), and it's followed by you or your that T can be turned into a CH. For example, helped you. S (s): missed the SH (ʃ): He pushed the wrong button TH (θ): We unearthed another clue 2d rule 4:19 3d rule 5:03 If the final sound is D or T, the ED ending adds not just an extra sound like ttt or ddd, but an extra syllable.
Thank you for this awesome video Rachel. I'm an English teacher and the ed sound is one of the most complex and challenging things to master for latinos. Look forward for the second part.
I also think that learners should be alerted to the difference between strong verbs and weak verbs that comes pretty straight from German. Another useful rule is that an 'ed' ending for the past tense of a weak verb is not usually distinctly pronounced unless it ends in a 't' or 'd' sound. Examples: love => lovd hate => hat-ed save => savd sum => sumd sup => supd salt => salt-ed want => want-ed water => waterd seed => seed-ed use => used (not use-ed} seize => seizd (not seiz-ed transfix => transfixd discombobulate => discombobulat-ed I hear both Italian and Brazilian novices in English say things like "It's better to have lov-ed than lost", though it's likely that the Italian will say "Its-a better to have-a lovd-a than-a lost-a."

U hit the nails right on the lid.Thats literally my opinion as a non-native English speaker about whether or not droppin the -ED sound.
It gets me more comprehending about those principles. I reeeeeally appreciated for ur comment.

You're welcome Landai!
Thank you my dear teacher,I'm really impressed,sometimes I feel like giving up studying English but I'm still struggling !
You can do it Pankaj! Keep it up!
Please never give up!
I'm glad to see this video. Years ago, I used to say the same thing and got teased for it, even sent to the ESL Inquisition, haha! It was tough for some teachers to accept it. Guess some folks just can't handle the truth from a humble non-native speaker. But now, with the pronunciation GOAT herself blessing it, the teasing can officially end 😇. Seriously though, for a sec I thought my ears were playing tricks or I was losing my mind. Rachel, you're an absolute legend. Keep rockin' that American English pronunciation teaching! 👍
You're welcome and thanks for watching @pascualchavez2262!
your classes are excellent, I follow each of your lessons, It´s really a lucky watching you
Glad to hear that Franciel!
Thank you very much. I can't wait for episode 2.
As a native English speaker of 27 years attempting to learn French, wow, I wanted to scream at this and how nuanced this is! But Insanely accurate!! Never have I thought about this before!
A tip for learners and something I picked up on every example given: tone and rates of speech. If you're talking faster, you're naturally going to drop the double letter (t or d) into a consonant, or as others have pointed out, excitement level (as in watching the best movie last night) which also comes down to rate of speech. But ultimately, this is super nit-picky, don't fret over this in the slightest. If this is your focus you're well on your way to fluency if not already there 😄
I started to worry because she has a series of three videos talking about this topic and I´ve been waiting for this series since I started watching her videos. my question is: do you agree with everything she teaches on this video and do this on your daily basis? I'd love to hear your opinion on this.
Thank you Rachel's English for this video.
Oh my gosh!!! You made my brain 🧠🧠 understand quite a bit about American accent keep up the good work!!! I'm loaded
Amazing, Outstanding, Fantastic, Mind-blowing !
Thank you!
You're very welcome!

My name's Sama from Egypt

Thank you very much for this wonderful video! You are the best. Hugs from southeastern Brazil. ❤️❤️❤️
oh what a lovely teaching, I m lucky to find you. thanks a lot.
Hi Rachel, how are you doing?
I'm so happy to here that native English speakers drop the "ED" ending sound, since I'm struggling with it.
After 2 months working with ELSA (thanks againg for the recommendation), I have a conclusion: these sounds are giving me a bit hard time:
Ending "ed"
Ending "ing"
Short "i"
"d3" this is my nightmare.
But this are good news for me, because now I know which sounds I need to work with a little bit harder.
Thank you very much Rachel.
Never stop doing such a wonderful work.
Thanks teacher for this great video God bless you and your family i'm looking forward to going your courses studing
I love watching your videos for I am learning a lot from them.. Thank you. Will make sure to watch at least 1 video a day
The best teacher in the world! I love you
You are my favorite Coach.
We love you Rachel. Thank you.
Thanks Roberto!
Really impressive Rachel! I’m gonna watch the video over and over and over again. Alessandro 🇧🇷
That's the right strategy!!
Thank you for the new video
This is the important video ,
For "t" sound.
I think that happens in almost every language. That double-consonant sound is sometimes 'difficult' to pronounce, it takes some effort if you will and breaks the flow of the discourse. So people naturally and unconsciously drop one off the consonant sounds
I can fell Rachel's enthusiasm in teaching.
This series is precious.
Thanks a lot Roderiko!
Thank you so much for your nice videos, I suffer a lot from my accent, that is from my self thought English 😥😥
Keep practicing and you'll get there! :)
Om my gosh Rachel. Thank you so much for the video. Now all my questions regarding ed ending words was over. I regretted the fact that I didn't watch this video after I learned some theories about it after years of knowing it. I mean I watched some other UA-camrs also but not as good as your teaching lesson. It could have been better if I had watched this one first 😅 hence your videos are so fenomenal. You know what you're doing, Rachel. And you did such a really good job! Thank you so much!
You're very welcome @callmez55!

There is air in the "t."
It's very, very soft!
I really think your channel is very good to me. Therefore, i always watch the whole ads as the support to you. Thx
Thanks a lot Eric!
Don't stop Rachael!!!!
Rachel always saying our lives! Thank you! 🙏🙏👏👏
You're welcome Edvan!
Unvoiced sounds (P, K, f, S, SH, CH, X and th) - There is no vibration of the vocal cords. Hard for you? Go to Rachel's Academy. She'll tell you everything about unvoiced sounds.
Thank you teacher, excellent class!!
For me you are the best teacher in the world.
Wow thank you Gilberto!
Prolly best channel to sound like native speaker👍🏽💯🔥🔥🔥
Notes for me
1st rule 1:35
If the sound before the ED ending is invoiced, then the ED ending becomes T.
All unvoiced sounds : [ tʃ, f, k, p, s, ʃ, θ, t, n]
In American English, we can drop a T, when it comes between two consonants.
For all of the words in this category, if the ED word is at the end of the sentence, we will pronounce this T.
If ED word is linking into a word that begins with a vowel or diphthong, we will lightly realize the T into the word, connecting the words.
If the next word begins with the consonant, many times, native speakers will drop the T sound.
CH (tʃ), :
I watched the movie last night.
F (f):
I stuffed the blanket into the bag
K (k):
kicked the
P (p):
I hoped it would be better
12:15. When a word ends in a T sound, which all of these do (т.е. все слова которые мы разобрали оканчиваются на T), and it's followed by you or your that T can be turned into a CH. For example, helped you.
S (s):
missed the
SH (ʃ):
He pushed the wrong button
TH (θ):
We unearthed another clue
2d rule 4:19
3d rule 5:03
If the final sound is D or T, the ED ending adds not just an extra sound like ttt or ddd, but an extra syllable.
Best videos of ed ending that I’ve found.
Thank you for this awesome video Rachel. I'm an English teacher and the ed sound is one of the most complex and challenging things to master for latinos. Look forward for the second part.
What's your native language?

Thanks teacher,nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too Aurora!
I love being your student. Thanks for so much for teaching us.
My pleasure Taekseon!
I also think that learners should be alerted to the difference between strong verbs and weak verbs that comes pretty straight from German. Another useful rule is that an 'ed' ending for the past tense of a weak verb is not usually distinctly pronounced unless it ends in a 't' or 'd' sound.
Examples:
love => lovd
hate => hat-ed
save => savd
sum => sumd
sup => supd
salt => salt-ed
want => want-ed
water => waterd
seed => seed-ed
use => used (not use-ed}
seize => seizd (not seiz-ed
transfix => transfixd
discombobulate => discombobulat-ed
I hear both Italian and Brazilian novices in English say things like "It's better to have lov-ed than lost", though it's likely that the Italian will say "Its-a better to have-a lovd-a than-a lost-a."
i like a lot of examples.
Thanks Rachel. I have something new to teach my students.
Great! Thanks for sharing Fiona!
I've learned how to pronounce all of this already but I still make a few mistakes -_- this video is a good refresh, thank you 😍😍
