I'm now 20 and fully fluent in English, and part of it is thanks to you. I hadn't watched any of your videos in years to be quite honest, but I just randomly thought of you all of a sudden and felt the need to write this comment to say thank you for helping me and so many others improve their English!! ☺️ you've made a lasting impact on so many people

    Your lessons help me a lot. After watching your stop consonants lessons, I have realised that we Indians use a lot of stop sounds in Hindi and our local native languages. That is also called glottal stop sounds. But we have never called them stop sounds and glottal sound. I am using it naturally without even realising. Yet I am having difficulty spotting the glottal stop in stop T naturally in English language listening.

    I am here because I noticed that I was doing what you call a stop t at the end of words like « caught ». People were asking why I was not pronouncing the t but I was like « I’m pretty sure there is a t because I hear it ». While pronouncing this sentence out loud I noticed I was doing the same with « it ». I think I am actually doing it with a lot more words

  • @Danie0l0ntertainmet
    @Danie0l0ntertainmet 4 года назад +1

    2:35 I think "can" and "can't" was only distinguishable by the length of the diphthong. Afaik for "can't" Americans elongate/stretch the diphthong with your described fall of pitch or if it is the main word in a sentence like "I *can't* " they clearly pronounce the t. For "can" Americans use a reduced version so it's IPA: kən except it is the main word in a sentence like "I can." but it is clearly distinguishable as in this case the t in "can't" is articulated so the compressed air is being released. Otherwise I read somewhere that humans can't hear the stop t after n because the t is articulated at the same place where the n is articulated (alveolar) so a glottal stop would sound the same. Is this right?
    General question: Do you build up pressure for the stop t(so before changing the tongue posture for another sound your lungs pull the air back/relax so the pressure is neutralized again) or do you just let your tongue there but glottal stop(so your lung doesn't build up pressure)?
    And generally I'd like to know when you Americans use the glottal stop? Don't you use it in "at the" so it becomes "æʔðə" or maybe "æt̪t̪ə" so the t is dental according to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronunciation_of_English_%E2%9F%A8th%E2%9F%A9#Assimilation ?

    This is how I learned the difference between way and wait
    WAY
    - A little bit longer
    - Lift the back of your tongue and leave the tip down ( short i vowel )
    WAIT
    - Quicker
    - The back of your tongue is down and the tip is up behind the avela Ridge" the little gum" ( I might have spelled avela ridge incorrectly but yeah lol smh )
    -Make the stop with your throat
    When you raise the tip at the end you already got the stop t part in my opinion

      @@soniasantos8418 Rachel has a video which deals specifically with the pronunciation of t's in words such as "mountain" and "sentence". According to her, most Americans pronounce these t's as a glottal stop. Other channels on RUclips also have videos stating the same (e.g. Sounds American). Indeed, the word "mountain" seems to be one of the most cited examples of glottal stops occurring in the middle of words. Pronouncing it as a flap feels awkward in the mouth and doesn't sound natural (I'm supposing you meant "flap" rather than "flat")

    • @rachelsenglish
      @rachelsenglish  5 лет назад +2

      Hi! Yes, we use the glottal stop in American English all the time. You can really use the glottal stop instead of the Stop T in most situations, usually. It comes down to what makes the most sense in terms of what comes after that glottal stop. If the next sound uses the tongue tip up behind the upper teeth (e.g. 'hot day, that stuff'), then you will probably just want to use the Stop T. If the next sound does not need the tongue tip lifted, than a glottal stop will probably be the easiest (e.g. 'hot gravy, that car').

    Rachel, in your explanation you said ‘different than’. It should be ‘different from’ not ‘different than’ nor ‘different to’. We wouldn’t say ‘this one differs than this one’ but this ‘one differs from that one’. It’s because the preposition ‘from’ indicates the idea of moving away (from) whereas we say ‘similar to’ because ‘to’ indicates moving towards, as in ‘this one is similar to that one’. ‘Than’ is used in comparison of two things as in ‘ This one is bigger than that one.’

    @orhoushmand85 6 лет назад +1

    I paid attention that words in English can start in very few consonant clusters, they always end with L, R, W or Y unless they start with S. That results in a lot of silent initial consonant letters in English and I have no problem to pronounce a lot of them, for example, K in KNOW and P in PSYCHOLOGY. But do native English speakers have a real problem to pronounce these initial silent letters except that it may sound to them weird?

    • @rachelsenglish
      @rachelsenglish  6 лет назад +2

      Native speakers, if learning these words for the first time through reading, would need to be told not to pronounce the initial letter. But once the word is part of their vocabulary, they would not have a problem with it. Native speakers grow up with the knowledge that English is not phonetic, so are very used to needing to look up new words in the dictionary!

    Dear Rachel !
    Could you help me explain the pronunciation of words with GE in the end such as large, orange, frige. I know how to say them but my question is : Can we pronounce them with " Stop GE " in the end ? I hope you understand what I mean

    • @rachelsenglish
      @rachelsenglish  2 года назад +1

      Hi! Not really - you'll always hear a little bit of the [ʤ] sound here - even if it's super weak. :)

    Hi Rachel! could you please do a video on the pronunciation of "Anesthetic"? I'm quite confused about the sound when "s" and "th" are next to each other. Thank you:)

    Hey Rachel's English, I love your channel. Could you make a video talking about the "Though" use? Sometimes I see people using that at the end of the sentence but not with an opposite point.

    thanks for this video , it really helped me , but im wondering
    when it comes to the stop T all you need to do is to cut the air flow with your throat so why do i have to move my tongue to the t place or even create the pressure in my mouth ?

      Munther Alshobaki you don't. but you can. it can help you sometimes, reinforcing the stop T, making it easier. it's a personal choice.

      Stop the first T and release the second - it will sound linked when you do that! :)

    Hi Rachel, your videos have been very helpful! Thanks!
    I have a question though.
    The stop t or d in the middle of the word. Do they exist?
    Like grandson. I’ve noticed that we don’t pronounce the d in grandson.
    I’m not sure if I’m doing the stop d here or perhaps I’m just saying granson. A student asked me that the other day and I thought perhaps you would know better.
    Kinda feel like there’s a silent d. But I’m not sure. It feels like when I’m saying granson, I’d shift the stress. Seems like the stress falls on the syllable where the stop t/d is. This stressing rule seems to also apply to the examples in your video.

    • @rachelsenglish
      @rachelsenglish  4 года назад

      Yes! You are right - we often drop the T and D when they come between two consonant sounds - you are right!

    • @eclipses1003
      @eclipses1003 4 года назад

      Rachel's English sorry but I was asking about the “stop” instead of the “d” in “grandson”
      My student asked me that but I wasn’t sure
      Do we “stop” at the silent d?
      I feel like we do, because I would pronounce it differently if it was “ granson” without the d
      But I also found out that I would stress the word differently when there’s no “d” in it
      Does it mean that we usually stress on the syllable with stop “t” and “d” in it?
      Thank you

    The final 't' in words like 'faucet', 'bet' are often pronounced as a stopped/unreleased (or somehow unaspirated) 't'. I was wondering under which circumstances do we pronounce this final as a stopped one. Are there any rules? Or do we do the stopped 't' all the time (in word finals)? 🙏

    • @rachelsenglish
      @rachelsenglish  5 лет назад +1

      There aren't any rules, you can release final Ts or Stop them. I would say it is more common to hear native speakers Stop their final Ts in casual speech - but you'll hear both from native speakers. So, do whichever one you like the sound of more! :)

    When we speak fast, the No T word also becomes shorter, it's really hard for me to distinguish. They sounds the same to me in fast speech. As a non-native speaker, I am really confused about the stop T and silent T in fast speech.

      In English English you use a glottal stop in the middle of words. Water = wah'uh, Britain = Bri'un, Potato = Pota'o. But it's regional/ class based
