I'll quit my job. I won't teach anymore. No, can't do that. I love it. What the heck? After all I've done to teach my Ss the -ed sounds, now, you native speakers drop them? Wanna drive me crazy, huh? Kidding.

[@rachelsenglish]

Ha! Thanks for watching @englishforever!

[@firasmaharmeh7810]

Thanks for your video . Your training method is amazing

[@lulurubyliu]

Thank you so so so much💓! And I have a question. Do we have to change t into d when we link walked a lot?

[@rachelsenglish]

You can choose to keep the T sound or change it to D (if you're stopping the K).

[@junniellezama3106]

I just saved it to watch it later. It helps me understand native speaker at work 😂😮

[@rachelsenglish]

That's great @junniellezama3106!

[@erkanozdogan4765]

Rachel, what you are doing is priceless because those popular textbooks published by those popular publishers like OUP,PEARSON, and CAMBRIDGE never mention these facts. With "the KZbin Age," I realized that we efl/esl learners and teachers have been deceived by their so-called "sterile" and "made-in-lab" English. Thus, we all owe you and many others like you a lot. Thank you.

[@rachelsenglish]

I appreciate it @erkanozdogan4765!

[@jalalzbirat6338]

Phonologically speaking, this dropping of the sound/t/ depends on sounds, the sequence of sounds, and processes.

[@rachelsenglish]

Thanks for sharing @jalalzbirat6338!

[@user-hb4ds5ov8c]

Hi Rachel, I learned a lot from you and thank you very much. here I want to talk with you "not only but also".I usually drop the "t" in "not" and "but". how do native English speakers deal with them generally? flap T? Hope to hear from you sooooon. Thanks!

[@rachelsenglish]

Hi! For these words, how the T sounds will depend on what the word is followed by. If the word after "not" or "but" begins with a consonant, I would generally use a stop T. If it's a vowel, you can use the flap T. More on T sounds here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4uboWtrg7d0qassi=sRBrINZgHSlyo92i

[@englishforever]

All right. Time to go back to watching your video and seeing if your pronunciation is ok. LOL.

[@user-zl5tb1ed1w]

❤❤❤ thanks

[@rachelsenglish]

You're welcome @user-zl5tb1ed1w!

[@user-zl5tb1ed1w]

@@rachelsenglish 😍😍

[@englishforever]

Totally agree. However, have you noticed that the vowel sound is longer?

[@rachelsenglish]

I'm not sure what you're asking here. Do you mean the vowel sounds longer in a stressed syllable? Because this does happen. Vowels will be longer in stressed syllables.

[@choonblaze]

@@rachelsenglish I think he means to a non-english speaker it sounds like the word "looked" sounds extra long and emphasized like lo-ok-ed when it's just a simple whole word "looked" for a native speaker

[@irfanbozkurt1728]

Greetings from istanbul rachel.

[@arwaalsafty9157]

Hello Rachel I hope you're doing great! I have an urgent question, please. In one of your videos, you said that when you pronounce a word that have a long o sound followed by a dark /l/ sound, you don't pronounce the second part of the diphthong o as in "role" . Do you do the same with words that have lone u sound followed by a dark /l/ as "rule" ? I really want to know and thank you so much in a advance.

[@rachelsenglish]

Yes, that's true! The Dark L is strong, so it can feel like it's interrupting the diphthong.

[@arwaalsafty9157]

@@rachelsenglish Thank you so much Rachel

[@englishforever]

Doctors to be in the room - This is worth a dissertation thesis. Go for it. A documentary on Hulu, for sure.

[@MetaMan97454]

To reduce interference of native language and keep on learning your language,great

[@englishforever]

Man, tis is high core pronunciation stuff. Not for beginners. Now, I know how native speakers realize I am not American:"Even though your English is really good, Pedro. I can hear you're not an American." they say. Now, I know one of the reasons. Did I just your hear,"Not, it's gonna get more complicated"?

[@rachelsenglish]

It can be challenging sometimes, yes! But you've got this, keep practicing!

[@teddyr3101]

English is complicated i understand when people give up learning but I won't

[@englishforever]

Have you noticed tht all the sounds that are heard, they are so because people pause their speech? Interesting, Rachel. Very interesting. Sherlock's intonation here.

[@rachelsenglish]

Thanks for watching @englishforever!

[@englishforever]

opened the /open d the is removed E /open de/ It makes sense to me in Portuguese. Does that make any sense to you?

[@rachelsenglish]

Standard American English does not usually change the TH to a D for "the", so I recommend keeping the TH, even if it's quick and short. As far as the -ED goes, this is one where you could drop the ED or use a stop D sound.

[@englishforever]

@@rachelsenglish Thanks for sharing it with us, Rachel.

[@leilahenniche1580]

How do we pronounce "wrapped up " though?

[@rachelsenglish]

For "wrapped up", drop the W. Then use R + the AA as in BAT vowel, and end with PT, linked smoothly to the UH + P. In IPA: [ræpt‿ʌp]. *Some Americans soften this T link to a flap, but it's generally a T sound here.

[@wowu9433]

0:34 "that we analyze and look for patterns.....“ I think the speaker used the present tense, or she dropped the "ed" in "analyzed".

[@ruthbenavides8419]

I wanna ask you.. where could i find this articles to read in english?. I appreciate if you help me.

[@englishforever]

Really? in Minute 14:09 you don't hear miss te? I mean, the projection of the T sound to the word THE? Because then, we would have a strong sound /t/ next to a weak sound /th/ the strong sound prevails. Am I wrong?

[@rachelsenglish]

I'm hearing a dropped T, then a short TH for this link.

[@user-qb2fu6yw4x]

Why I'm hearing flap t with all rule 1 words followed by vowel ?🤔

[@rachelsenglish]

Hi @user-qb2fu6yw4x! Good observation! It can sound closer to a flap T if the word is followed by a vowel.

[@alarmat2am]

In case of 'ed+the', I think there is more stress on 'the'

Sometimes there is! But often they are both unstressed.

8:37 that's lazy English

[@englishforever]

The sound you make with "booed by" - Is it similar to the ng as in /ˈsāiNG/?

[@rachelsenglish]

It is a different sound. I'm using an unreleased D, followed by a B sound. The NG uses a tongue lift in the back of the throat, which we do not need to make the D or B sounds.
