I love the way you break down pronunciation and aspects of connected speech. Succinct and clear! And very useful for me as I start to teach Spanish speakers in Argentina. One question: The final slide with example sentences has 'Christmas' eliding the 't.' In the final sentence it is not elided. Is this correct? When I pronounce it, it feels like the 't' is always elided in 'Christmas.' Interested to hear your thoughts, mate.

Thanks for the feedback James. Really happy to hear the videos are useful for fellow teachers too. Argentina! Amazing. I went there when I was younger. Had a fantastic time About the last slide, you are right. I should have changed the T in Christmas to red, sorry about that.

I love your lessons , its really helpful. I have a question, if we remove the T in "can't go" how we no its negative and not "can go" ? Thanks !

[@EnglishpronunciationwithTom]

Hi there. Thanks for the comment. Usually negative words are stressed (can't, don't, haven't etc) and 'can' is often weak. This video might help kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6Wtl32GpKenkLM
