THANKYOU

[@bayanmallasi9167]

Hello our dear teacher, thank you very much for the informative lesson:) I would like to ask you a question and will be very appreciative if you help me figure it out; when do we apply the assimilation method on t (when t comes in the end of a word or syllable) and when do we use the glottal stop. E.g., (must be) >> (mus/p/ be) or (mus/ʔ/ be), (apartment) >> (apar/p/ment) vs (apar/ʔ/ment)? Same thing apply to (art class>> arc class vs ar/ʔ/ class), (light green>> like green vs ligh/ʔ/green). If both are applicable which one is most commonly used in American English?

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

Thanks for the questions. If you haven't yet, I recommend reviewing the rules provided here in my lesson on my website: www.speakconfidentenglish.com/dropped-t-dropped-d-sounds/ This might help clarify when to use assimilation.

[@wangwesley9897]

How about past tense -ed？ Drop, too？

[@khalidnaami3026]

It's really is a great

[@reemhaddad5961]

That’s awesome

[@janbartels2009]

Hi, Annemarie. I watch all your videos and took your advise to record myself. I think I'm progressing. My question here is: Are only Americans drop letters or also British people?

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

Thank you for watching my lessons. And I'm glad to hear you're making progress with the technique I recommend. In British English sounds are also dropped although there may be some differences. My lessons are focused on American English. There are many wonderful British English teachers here on KZbin who might have a specific lesson on dropped sounds.

[@peterphiong6724]

Speaking of nt and nd? I’m so confused about whether I should drop the t and d or not, for example, understand = unerstand Spending = spening In front of = in fron of End of the day = en of the day Independent = indepenent Standard = stanard Because I was taught that the t and d should drop when they’re followed by the first stressed syllable and the vowels after the t and d? I don’t know how to explain it. 🤯 Or it can only happen in the fast speech?

[@celiaortiz1499]

I didn't know there was a Dropped D sound before, are there any more Dropped consonants?

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

I'm glad this helped you learn something new! We do have syllables and sounds that can be dropped in English. I'd be happy to do another lesson on this topic. 😊

[@thanhnam5245]

Hi, if t followed n, and before vowel. Can we drop t sound??

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

This happens occasionally but it typically a /t/ before a vowel is not dropped. An example of when you might hear it cropped is in the word "internet" which might be pronounced as "innernet."

[@thanhnam5245]

Thank you so much

[@luismiguelnunes5539]

💚💚💚

[@araceliorodriguez8540]

Are there people who drop the "t" in the word "sentence "? I've heard people pronounce the "t" in that word as a glottal stop, same as in written, mountain, button.....

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

Yes, the does happen sometimes, Aracelio. I've heard the word sentence pronounced more like sen'ence. You have perceptive listening skills!

[@westongentle6662]

But actually we don't drop the t in lightning; instead, we stop it.

[@mostafabahaa388]

You said you have Dropped /t/ in the Word Ligh(t)ninig...but i still hear it..its not dropped !!! i still hear a Not Completed t

[@thilakasirispathiranage9981]

Please never drop "T" either "t"! I'm here to learn English and rely on to prosper as well. I consider wider range of issues than mere Profit. Can it be a world so.... full and busy. Why? For what?

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

Hi, thank you for the comment. I'm not sure I understand your question. Could you clarify?

[@thilakasirispathiranage9981]

I thought all this over 22yrs. Then I reckoned I would see if there was anything. Only I had all marks of that visit. I believe now it's a blessing. .
