Thank you so much so so helpful for me I really struggled with this e beginning The best video I have seen on this topic very clear and the multiple examples are very important to complete either practice .. thank you so much
You listened very well--good catch! Yes, I often say that word without a /t/ sound, and here's the reason. When there is a /t/ + vowel + /n/ combination in a word, native speakers often use a glottal stop instead of the /t/ sound. I explained that concept in this video: ruclips.net/video/f8nbTDHHhk4/видео.html It's totally okay to pronounce the word "sentence" with a /t/ sound, but you also have the option of using a glottal stop. 🙂
@@pronunciationsnippets Thanks so much for your explanation, and for your time. Also for the lovely video which explain it. Thank you for your effort. very good channel!
Could you make a video explaining how to connect a word that ends with "ed" and the next is a word that starts with "t". For example the sentence: The crowd waved to the camera. I don't know how to connect that "waved to", since the "t" and "d" have the same pronunciation position.
Hi Angel--sure, I'd be happy to do that. I have several video requests that I'm working on, so it may take me a little while, but I'll get to it as soon as I can. Thanks for the suggestion! 🙂
I'm happy to do that, as it's something I've actually been thinking about. There are a few requests ahead of yours, so it may take me a little while, but I will definitely put it on my list. 🙂
hi, could you make a video about the pronunciation of him, 'im and them , em so because the people some times quite the h in him or th in them and this words change the sound, i liked your video
Sure, Juanjose--I'd be happy to do that. It may take me a little while because I've had quite a few requests for different videos, but I will get to it eventually! 😉
You might try thinking of how you pronounce the "ing" ending on words like "ring" or "sing." Use that same sound at the beginning of "English." To practice that, just start with the related target word to make the nonsense word, "ringlish" or "singlish." Then, just drop that initial /r/ or /s/. 🙂
It's a good lesson, too. Your explanation easily understand for second - language English speakers. I would like to thank for your kind assistance..
Thanks for letting me know that it's easy to understand, Tran. I really try to make that a priority, so it's great to hear that it's working! 🙂

I'm thrilled to know this helped you, Banto! 🙂

That really makes me happy, Bersange. I want my videos to be easy to understand, so thank you for that feedback. 🙂

Thanks so much for the lovely video. May I ask a question please, Did you say the word /sentence / without /t/ sound or I didn't listen well?

@pronunciatonsnippet.
Can you please do snippet on the word 'opportunity'. I hear different people pronunciation 'tu' differently in this word

I've been struggling to find a good balance for 'e' in the word 'English'. 'Eenglish' is too flat, while 'Inglish' sounds too deep.
