What a lesson! Perfect. I do like the glotal stop sound. Frank Sinatra pronounces the "ing" sound this way. In the song " Old man river" he says somet", noth" and it's just perfect.
Absolutely great! Even with just a camera, your fire is there and the students catch on; that's what I call teaching! Helped the proper precision of the glottal stop versus similar sounds that I had confused.
Thanks so much, I was having a lot of trouble with glottal stops in foreign languages, but explaining how they're used in English made it exponentially clearer!
I am a chilean boy getting grazy with linguistic at university..a Chilean teacher teaching linguistic is almost imposible he speaks so fast and u do it very slowly to make us understand u! this is awesome Love u!
Loved this! The glottal stop, in use, was not foreign to me, but it having a name was a 🤯 moment! I love language & learning where words come from..their origin! So, I had always thought of it as a silent "k". Like.. oak..? Though that might help somebody, u know, in addition to everything else. Its how I made sense of it. Think of the way you close your throat when making the "k" sound! Great video, btw!! Def recommend it!!!
It is quite difficult for us, Brazilians, to produce this sound because I don´t think in our language we have it. Just telling us to "close" the glottis in not enough, because we have no idea of how to do this. However, when you presented the drawing on the board and explained calling attention to the tongue position you simply clarified everything to me. That was a genious approach to glottal-stop-sound teaching. Congrats and thanks a bunch! :)
I loved this video. You made it so easy to understand the concept the pronounce the words with glottal stop. Could you please do the video on the pronunciation of of here vs hear?
could u make a video on whether we could always drop the following stop consonants p, b, t, d, k, g occuring at the end of a word in a speech when there is no linking to the next word which begins with a vowel. hopefully u could also make more videos on glottal stop or non-glottal stop, thanks..
coach Shane really you made me laugh a lot especially in this video but I could get the glottal stop sound thank you our great teacher but you very funny man😘😘
I hear a lot of younger people and people in the Capital District of New York not using the glottal stop but ending their words with 'an' instead. Moun - an for mountain.
thank you so much! this is an eye opener to me. I think we dont have this Glottal stop sounds in our language, and im from Philippines :) Usually we tend to pronounce button as "bo-ton" not "but' n" lol
It helps so much youre the best teacher I've ever seen.I've a question for u teacher.All I did was to say , All I did was say Which one is correct in AmE and where sentence structre come from? much appreciated
MrLast14 Thank you!! I would guess that "All I did was say" is probably more common in the US!! The expression is very casual, and in "casual English" we like to skip some of the proper structure!!
I have a question. Is the t sound sometimes dropped at the end of words. Like for example in the sentence 'what was that.' I sometimes hear native speakers drop the t sound and just say "wu was that." Without the t.To me it sounds more smoother than when you say it with a t. Do you know if this is correct?
I think this video was the first time I have ever seen someone who teaches glorify the glottal stop for uses that were not intended by the spelling of the word. Prior to watching this I always heard others refer to the use of the glottal stop as a sign that the speaker was uneducated. Or maybe I just was too influenced by "My Fair Lady" in my formative years. 🤷♂
is a t at the end of a word usually dropped? e.g when you say "what kind of ...", can we drop the t before kind? whenever there is linking to the next word, does the t-gottal stop sound disappear? e.g want a toy becomes wana toy and e.g what do you want to do becomes whaddaya wannna do
Not exactly. There is glottal t in british english, and it's quite common, not inky in cockney accent. I just keep wondering, what for? It requires much more effort.
Would you please do a video about p and b, I tried a lot to practice these two sounds but no benefit and also the short e and i like big and beg, also hut and hot
Could you, please, teach us the correct pronunciation for CAN and CAN'T? Mostly when the verbs after them start with T, D and TH. You already taught us the cancellation tatic "SNL" (Shane Never Lies) which cancels the sound of T, D and TH. But in this case, the trouble is to show if we are doing properly CAN and CAN"T. Thank you!
+Marcelo Marçal Perhaps it would help if I say that "can't" ends with a glottal stop, at least where I live, which is northeast Indiana. And that can sounds exactly like it just without the glottal stop.
Do I use my nose when I pronounce the glottal t (such as cotton "co'n") ? I mean the "n" is produced from the nose(accompanied by an exhalation) or the larynx ???
+Youssef Adel Just keep your tongue in the same spot as to say a "t" in the instance of "cotton" and do the glottal stop, but do it VERY casually, don' try hard to make the stop, it must come naturally to sound American. But do not move your tongue. Don't worry about your nose. But I would say to let air come out of both your mouth and your nose.
when u pronounce the n in "sump'n", why is the mouth closed? i also noticed towards the end of the video, u pronunced n in "nut'n" with your mouth closed..wouldnt that change it to an "m" sound?
"Most languages have glottal stop", but some (mine, for instance) haven't it, so your lesson was highly appreciated. Thanks.
It´s s magnificient explanation. Thank you.
after watching your tutorial this pronunciation becomes more natural for me. thanks a lot.
The example my high school choir director always use to give us is the British way of saying water bottle: wa'er bo'el.
You nailed it bruh, the best pronunciation vídeo ever glottal T, STRAIGHT UP TO THE POINT
And here I am again to learn more about this beautiful sound. Coach Shane you are the
best.....(11/03/2021)
What a lesson! Perfect. I do like the glotal stop sound. Frank Sinatra pronounces the "ing" sound this way. In the song " Old man river" he says somet", noth" and it's just perfect.
I like the way you teach, I had a good laugh...and I also learn a lot, thanks! Thumbs up

Everon Thank you very much!
+coachshanesesl What states/regions/areas of USA the glottal stop is most used?
Very beautiful & beneficial video. I follow British accent English so but Golltal T is very useful for both USA & BRITISH as well.
I'm a speech pathology student struggling with this sound when transcribing in IPA, so thanks for this! :-)
You have a TOUGH job!! Best wishes^^
Wonderful! The best pronunciation video i have watched! I enjoyed this immensely and it is clearly explained.
Well elaborated
Very good explanation. I'm a non native speaker and it really explained and helped alot.
Thank you so much i always thought that the word "something" sometimes is pronounces differently but you made it clear for me
Thanks so much, I was having a lot of trouble with glottal stops in foreign languages, but explaining how they're used in English made it exponentially clearer!
The best explanation ever .Thank you so much.
Great tips and explanations, Shane! Fun to watch too.

That's an excellent demo to show us what glottal means.

Thank you for the very practical lesson! Can "Washington" be a glottal stop like Washin'n?
The word "mountain" is commonly pronounced with a glottal stop in the western U.S., to give another common example.
love this. Thank you, coach!
it helps me so much. i finish my assignments easily.
thankyou!! :D
Thank you for uploading! I really understand what the glottal stop is.
I became a big fan and will use all the videos thoroughly to improve my English.

Teacher, you are the best! Thank you so much!
I loved this video. You made it so easy to understand the concept the pronounce the words with glottal stop. Could you please do the video on the pronunciation of of here vs hear?
Myra D In standard American English, "here" and "hear" sound exactly the same, Myra^^
This actually helps with learning how to deal with Aleph and Ayin in Hebrew and Aramaic!
Finally I was able to understand glottal stop Sounds, thank you CoachShanesesl.
Very funny and very helpful, thanks a lot
That was a delightful lesson.
Today last year I could not figure out how to pronounce the glotal sounds but now it's ingrained in me clear crystal
you are the best in that field
could u make a video on whether we could always drop the following stop consonants p, b, t, d, k, g occuring at the end of a word in a speech when there is no linking to the next word which begins with a vowel. hopefully u could also make more videos on glottal stop or non-glottal stop, thanks..
Very well explain thank you very much now I know how to make that sound!!
I must say that you create incredible content for me, keep going
Wow.. you explained it very good. Thanks for the video. Subscribed!!

Great love it! learned a lot from this thank you
Hi Shane, is there a difference between the pronounciation of eaten and Eden?
You're welcome Mark!!!^^ Don't forget to check out my other channel!!!^^
Good explanation of glottal sound t .🎉🎇
I hear a lot of younger people and people in the Capital District of New York not using the glottal stop but ending their words with 'an' instead. Moun - an for mountain.
Nice video!!
That was so beneficial to me ... Thanks alot !
"Nice to meet you" is sometimes pronounced with the glottal stop.
Yep. Meet/ ya AND Meechya are both very common.
thank you so much! this is an eye opener to me. I think we dont have this Glottal stop sounds in our language, and im from Philippines :) Usually we tend to pronounce button as "bo-ton" not "but' n" lol
Oh my God! But now you're enlightened, undoubtedly
It helps so much youre the best teacher I've ever seen.I've a question for u teacher.All I did was to say , All I did was say Which one is correct in AmE and where sentence structre come from? much appreciated
MrLast14 Thank you!! I would guess that "All I did was say" is probably more common in the US!! The expression is very casual, and in "casual English" we like to skip some of the proper structure!!
other glottal stop sounds that i've ever heard written ,bitten ,forgotten..
very good explanation, thank you
great! awesome and helpful video!
Thanks! Undoubtedly, it will help me with my BA paper concerning various /t/ realizations :)
Dear Coach! Could you explain what is Stop T??? What is difference???
I live in a city called Renton, but a lot of people here say “ Ren-Nn”. Including me.
When we use the glottal stop and when we use the flap T
I have a question. Is the t sound sometimes dropped at the end of words. Like for example in the sentence 'what was that.' I sometimes hear native speakers drop the t sound and just say "wu was that." Without the t.To me it sounds more smoother than when you say it with a t. Do you know if this is correct?
Short answer: Yes! I'll make a video in the future for you!
Okay thanks coach Shane.
Jose, correct! Even more, they would drop the T in "tha(t)" as well
i just wanted to know do you have any website sir
by the way when you said beautiful you sounded just like My Glaswegian uncles/cousins.
@coachshanesesl
can you Americans pronounce the word Washington with glottal stop? or is it unusual? if so, why?
C'mon, just 1.400 thumbs up, it's great job and need more than 100000 !!!! He's just my favorite guy on RUclips
Perfect explanaition!!
thanks!
best glottal stop video in the web!
I think this video was the first time I have ever seen someone who teaches glorify the glottal stop for uses that were not intended by the spelling of the word. Prior to watching this I always heard others refer to the use of the glottal stop as a sign that the speaker was uneducated.
Or maybe I just was too influenced by "My Fair Lady" in my formative years. 🤷♂
So many thanks Shane!
WTF, why does it have only ~73k views?
Just be careful that when you exaggerate the sound you don't end up with an epiglottal stop instead.
Something seems more like "sump'm" with an "m" to me. Cool vid
Thank you so much Shane
Awesome Lesson
but why didn't you link 'get' with 'outta' so it would be D 'ged _ouda'?
is a t at the end of a word usually dropped? e.g when you say "what kind of ...", can we drop the t before kind?
whenever there is linking to the next word, does the t-gottal stop sound disappear? e.g want a toy becomes wana toy and e.g what do you want to do becomes whaddaya wannna do
Not exactly. There is glottal t in british english, and it's quite common, not inky in cockney accent. I just keep wondering, what for? It requires much more effort.
would you tell the difference between glottal stop and just stop？
as a bit of a cockney I would use a glottal stop if i said "outta" and "butter" but a american would say it abit like budder? is that a flap t?
Would you please do a video about p and b, I tried a lot to practice these two sounds but no benefit and also the short e and i like big and beg, also hut and hot

when u pronounce the n in "sump'n", why is the mouth closed? i also noticed towards the end of the video, u pronunced n in "nut'n" with your mouth closed..wouldnt that change it to an "m" sound?
Thnx. For teaching me this
Is it ok if I use a flap T in words like mitten and button?
+Mark Sg Not really. Like he said, the glottal stop comes with the T AND the N sounds. For words like "butter" you say it like a d. Like budder.
Hi could you teach me how to say maintenance in the American accent? Do they say it with three syllables or just two? Thanks!
Usually two. Mate-nense. Not all the time though.
thanks!!
two syllables. some people drop the T: main-nense
Do you pronounce "golden" with glottal stop instead of "d" sound in the middle?
Nope. Golden is often pronounced: gold + din. (as in dinner)
@@Thezellofamily Wow! Thanks a lot :)
thanks so much! Does "President Clinton" sound like "Presiden Clintn"
WOW you will never die duddddeee
ITs like to stop breathing
my native language has a glottal stop, so I don't find this diffucult at all
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Teacher!

Please help.
Thank you very much!
Good question. I second this question.
