Before lunch I'm watiching a video of yours.. Today PIZZA made by my brother Sebastián his pizzas are DELICIOUS 🍕. Teacher Tom so sorry for making questions but I think it's the only way to get feedback the sound / tt/ sounds like an / r/ sound in words like better , butter , potty I think it occurs in American English.

[@EnglishpronunciationwithTom]

Pizza 🍕 sounds great. I don’t think the /t/ sounds like an /r/ in words like better and butter. Is this maybe how it sounds in your language?

[@ingridmarianarodriguez8539]

@@EnglishpronunciationwithTom Thanks teacher that's been so kind of you. We pronounce the sound / t/ or / tt/ like just a / t / which sounds strong. Ah my question was because when I hear some American native speakers at the mall or a restaurant I think the use a soft sound / r / butter / barer/ . Here in my city we can always see tourists from different parts of the World specially from The U.S.A. , Canada or London.

Who's in charge of creating new contractions? I gave'r a pen. Look at'r I love'z cooking

[@EnglishpronunciationwithTom]

Good examples 😊

[@7MPhonemicEnglish]

I actually pronounce the /h/ in 'He's had enough.' but I can't say that I would hear it if I was listening to somebody else saying it the same way. I do remove the /h/ in the other examples.

[@EnglishpronunciationwithTom]

Thanks for the comment. Yes, elision doesn’t always happen but can. 👍

[@mamadousy2260]

Thank you so much your great content! I have a question. With “honest” the h “naturally” silent is silent, but with words like “house” or “home” can we apply h elision? I knew about him, his, her…and also they, them etc, but didn’t get the chance to watch a lecture about it. Thank you again!

[@EnglishpronunciationwithTom]

Thanks for watching. I think you are right, with honest the H is naturally silent. Like honour, hour, honest. Thanks for noticing that.

Iam confused our Porf in the univ told us that we elide the /h/ sound when it comes in a grammatical words.Could explain?

[@EnglishpronunciationwithTom]

Hi there, can you give an example of what your prof said?

[@Tech_bendahgane]

@@EnglishpronunciationwithTom He gave us words like him, her I met him in the bank But he did not told us about: her, him when it at the end of a sentence, and when it came as conent word

[@EnglishpronunciationwithTom]

@@Tech_bendahgane ok now I understand. I think one thing to remember is that connected speech can happen but it doesn’t always. Also, there are so many kinds that I’m sure your teacher didn’t have time to explain it all in class. Thanks again for watching
