    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.

    What about the t in want , is it silent?

    • @GOALSEnglish
      @GOALSEnglish  3 года назад +1

      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:

    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.

    • @GOALSEnglish
      @GOALSEnglish  4 года назад +1

      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.

      If so.. can I pronounce t at the end as a glottal t? For example, bat.... Pot....

    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?

    • @GOALSEnglish
      @GOALSEnglish  2 года назад +1

      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.

    Is the Stop T the same as the Dropped T?

    • @GOALSEnglish
      @GOALSEnglish  10 месяцев назад

      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. ;)

    What's the difference between glottal T and Stop T? Don't you close your vocal cords when making both sounds?

    • @GOALSEnglish
      @GOALSEnglish  3 года назад

      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:

    • @GOALSEnglish
      @GOALSEnglish  Год назад +1

      Yes! When we say "meant" or "mint" we generally don't have that puff of air coming out like with a hard "t" sound.
