  • Would you like to be a smooth speaker of English? This video is all about the pronunciation of the consonant “t”, which some people, including native speakers, tend to completely avoid nowadays, leading to a rather broken-up style of speaking. The technical name for this is the “glottal stop”. In this lesson, I’ll give you a few examples of what I mean, and I’ll demonstrate how to put the “t” back into your pronunciation and achieve a smoother way of speaking. www.engvid.com/stop-using-the...

    I'm so relieved 😅 I noticed those glottal stops a lot recently in movies and videos, and I don't like them. German being my first language, I should be used to glottal stops 🤣 but I love British pronunciation just because it's clear AND smooth.

  • @barrysteven5964
    @barrysteven5964 Год назад +6

    Sorry (not really) to complicate things but can I add something from my part of the country - Durham. Up here and in fact all over Durham, Tyne & Wear and Northumberland we have a unique way of pronouncing this type of 't' sound. We also use a glottal stop but not instead of the 't' sound like for example Londoners but we keep the 't' and produce a glottal stop simultaneously with it! We do exactly the same with 'p' and 'k' sounds. If you want to know if somebody is from the north east just ask them to say 'later', 'happy' and 'lucky' and you'll see. It's what most people call the 'Geordie' accent. It's probably not wise to try to imitate it unless you're going to live here but it's interesting to hear.

      But americans don't pronounces T letter in some words, for example: Atlantic, Latin, wanted, international, internet, etc. Is very similar to phenomenal of glottal stop. I'm not native speaker english and this is so hard for listening, when you don't pronounce "T" or when Yes.

    • @anonymoushuman8344
      @anonymoushuman8344 4 месяца назад

      Replacing the hard "t" sound with a glottal stop before vowels has actually become a trend in the U.S. lately, too. You can hear interviewers and weather people doing it on t.v., not only at the ends of words but in the middle of them, too. I wonder how long it will take for this fashion to be replaced by some other strange pronunciation trend. What will the next one be?
