Live lesson: Flap T and D and Q&A | American English

[@elchavo2000]

I have to spend some seconds in order to thank you and this is nothing compared with all your time you spend for us, videos like this one are very useful for the English students, teachers like you make our way more easy, thank you so much, greetings from Mexico.

[@hadar.shemesh]

Thank you so much! You touched me!:)

[@hadar.shemesh]

Wouldn't mind being in a living room in Brazil right now😉

[@weip5220]

Hi,I'm a Taiwanese,I learned to pronounce nasal T by watching your video,thank you so much!!!

[@hadar.shemesh]

Awesome!!

[@JJaammmeess]

Very good lecture. Thanks.

[@metalicoz]

Teacher Hadar, how are you? Today I was listening to two English speakers talk to each other and I realized that they also use the "flap d" when they said "I don't need etc etc". I still don't know if I hear that correctly but it reminded me of you and this video, so I run to my phone and here I'm, asking you another question hehe. Greetings from Santiago, Chile.

[@hadar.shemesh]

Amazing!! Greeting back:)

[@pablomessinagallardo5509]

Thanks Hadar for the awesome video. I'm still unclear though about the subtle difference in pronunciation (if any) between 'd' and 't' when they are both in the same word. For example, in the words: liquiDiTy, valiDiTy, preDaTor, or in phrases like 'I deleTeD it'. I have the same question for the case of 'r' and 't', as in the words: chaRiTy, matuRiTy, irRiTaTing. And here you have a couple words that combine everything ('d', 'r' and 't'): heReDiTy, desiDeRaTa. I would really appreciate any help on figuring out how to correctly pronounce those words since they really are tongue-twisters for me. Thank you again. Keep up the good work!

[@s07mh]

thanks , the lesson is useful , you answer many question in my head about these letters

[@dhaif7345]

You know , I think it's hard when we want to learn clearly, but i have hopeful ,so how long time do i need for that.

[@tuzkiiiii]

Hi Hadar! I love your videos and I've learned so much from you!! I have a request, can you please make a video about the word "University"? I can't for the life of me pronounce it correctly. I tried the Spanish "r" method but it sounds like "anniversary". Pronounce it with a "d" also feels wrong. I know we shouldn't pronounce it with a "t", but the other two options sound weird for me. So can you make a video of how to pronounce it? Thank you!!

[@jeanclaudebofungaisongo7381]

Thank you so much this is the most confusion I had

[@lullybaiownerblake9096]

Hi Hadar. I think it would be a goog idea to show the words that you are talking about, this way your videos would be more perfect that already are.

[@hadar.shemesh]

Hey! Thanks for your comment! I try to do it in the videos I record and edit, but I can't do it in the live broadcasts...

[@alonsofigueroa6173]

[@aurorarodriguez5758]

Aurora from Jerez zac. thanks so much sweetie.

[@heldolima9957]

Hadar I noticed that the word "curtain" doesn't have two vowels between the T and the pronounce of the T is like Cotton, button. Why? Is it an exception?

[@hadar.shemesh]

No, this is what I call the 'nasal T' (not flap t) and it happens when the T is before a schwa and then an N.

[@heldolima9957]

Accent's Way by Hadar and curtain?

please talk about when the flap T comes after an R like in party dirty artist etc how should I say an R and flap T without Making it so hallow?

[@hadar.shemesh]

I do talk about it in the video. It should sound much closer to a true D

[@nikky2074]

hurray! wednesday! =) i've forgotten what time zone are you in, so: what GMT was it? (don't know if the lats expression is gramatticaly right ;) sorry if not =))

[@nikky2074]

oh, i got examples: what time is it "want it" and "wanted" dictating

[@hadar.shemesh]

Hey! It's at 11:30 am NY time :) I think it's the easiest to remember .. and yes, wanted want it sound (almost) the same!!

[@nikky2074]

thanks!

[@franciscodelbianco914]

But the English classes , it's perfect.

[@narimanbesch6191]

Excellent video! I must say that It was shocking when I heard an American friend saying winer instead of winter and denist instead of dentist! But I still don't understand why cotton and bottom have different sounds dorT.. Is it because of the N and M iending the words?

[@hadar.shemesh]

Because it's before a Schwa and N. it behaves differently

[@engformationaus5029]

Hii I am jayshree from India.. Can you please relate the sounds with hindi. Thank you 😊

[@hadar.shemesh]

I'm not sure you have it in Hindi. You have a similar R sound, but the tip of the tongue is curled back which gives it a different quality.

Hi there from iraq 🇮🇶 Please would u mind if u do me a favor ? We want you to talk about how to improve each skills one by one please ? Do you Snapchat ?

[@orhoushmand85]

I don't like the flap D and the flap T, they are unclear and when I hear them I think I mishear them, they sound sloppy and distorted, even not like an R sound. That's why I don't pronounce this sound, so that "matter" and "madder" are not homophones but a minimal pair, and I don't pronounce "native" as /'neɪɾɪv/ but as /'neɪtɪv/.

[@hadar.shemesh]

More of a British pronunciation. That's still clear and accurate:)

[@orhoushmand85]

Accent's Way English However, I still stick to the American accent. As of today, my accent in English is based upon the American accent, but without the flap D/T.
