hi so after watching a ton of videos from different teachers about the flap t sound i came up with a theory that says flap t in english has two sounds first is (flap D) sound as in words that have single t most of the time like party sweaty city pity and others however you can pronounce like the second sound (optional) second sound is (flap R sound) or quicker flap d sound i know a lot of people and teachers gonna argue with this being flap D instead of R but i think its closer to flap R sounds in words that have double t or sometimes single t like battle matter water better bottle however this sound can not be pronounced as the first sound witch is closer to d sound as i mentioned and i think the word pretty belongs to the second sound with is (flap R) but its (optional) either the first sound or the second and how to make the flap R sound simply by bouncing the tongue against the inside of the front teeth and btw its the same way as the flap D sound but it seems slower then flap R sound so its sounds closer to a D letter and i think most of the teacher if not all of them gonna say no its not flap R its all the time flap D but you can spot the difference of the flap sounds between words like better and party so what you think is my theory right?
Hi, there's one sound, which is a voiced alveolar flap. In some languages, it's used for R, in English, it's used for certain t and d sounds. Here's some more information about it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_dental_and_alveolar_taps_and_flaps And here's something specific to "flapping" in English: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flapping
I’ve enjoyed watching your videos! Can you do a video to pronounce “cocky” and “khaki?” I meant to say “khaki” (color), but people thought I said “cocky.”
Hi, yes, I can cover your words in a future class. The issue is that "khaki" has vowel /æ/ as in "black cat," and your vowel might be closer to /ɑ/ as in "not hot." I talk about this in this video, so this might help until I get to your words: ruclips.net/video/CMZzi-OmBr8/видео.html
Would it be better if you demonstrate this word to show the pronunciation with a lower case ( i ) as your first vowel? E.g.priti Our children learn that the capital I is a long vowel I should , rather than a short vowel sound (i) .
Hi, in this case I'm using the IPA symbol /ɪ/ which represents the sound. I don't usually use lowercase i for this because in IPA /i/ is the "ee" sound of words like "need" or "eat." Nowadays I use inventive spelling "ih" to rewrite words and represent this sound. For the word "pretty" you can visualize it like "pritty," just be careful to avoid saying a tense /i/ vowel.
@@Ahmed-km1xy sounds good - if you can say written you've got the /rɪ/ part, and city you've got the /ɪti/ part, so you should be able to get it by breaking down the word. Good luck!

second sound is (flap R sound) or quicker flap d sound i know a lot of people and teachers gonna argue with this being flap D instead of R but i think its closer to flap R sounds in words that have double t or sometimes single t like battle matter water better bottle however this sound can not be pronounced as the first sound witch is closer to d sound as i mentioned and i think the word pretty belongs to the second sound with is (flap R) but its (optional) either the first sound or the second and how to make the flap R sound simply by bouncing the tongue against the inside of the front teeth and btw its the same way as the flap D sound but it seems slower then flap R sound so its sounds closer to a D letter
and i think most of the teacher if not all of them gonna say no its not flap R its all the time flap D but you can spot the difference of the flap sounds between words like better and party

@@SpeechModification Many thanks for clarifying that. It makes sense to me now. Thank you also for your videos too , very informative and helpful.
Thanks for your support!
Thank you too much 🥰❤️
Thanks a lot teacher
Thank you i will try
Thanks for watching!
You are pretty ❤
In order to pronounce it correctly, the letter "tt" should not be pronounced in the word.
i can't its hard for me
When you say the word "pretty" just don't pronounce the letters "tt" in the word, that way you will pronounce it correctly.
Madam You're Pretty 🤍
Gosh I just cant say it
Can you say "city?" How about "written?" Depending on what makes it hard for you, you can use other similar words to help you.
@@SpeechModification I can say both city and written.I think the australian accent is what makes it hard but I'll try by watching your video thanks.
@@Ahmed-km1xy sounds good - if you can say written you've got the /rɪ/ part, and city you've got the /ɪti/ part, so you should be able to get it by breaking down the word. Good luck!
@@SpeechModification thanks so much.
