To all English learners. Don’t get discouraged! While it would be wonderful to speak this way, and get all those sentences at the end all correct, do not get frustrated if you cannot. Remember, the objective of all speech is successful communication - not sounding like a mother tongue speaker. Where this video is extremely useful is more for your listening skills. It makes you aware that spoken English is not really the ‘same” as written English. Words constantly ‘slide’ together. This video provides an excellent explanation of what is happening and why. But because of this ‘sliding’, it will take a lot of ‘listening’ to fully grasp what has been said and even longer to be successful in the speaking with the full ‘sliding together’ process yourself.

Great!

[@ferneyarrubla8111]

Teacher so if there is a t or d sound between two consonants sounds it is fairly common to drop it. I was wondering if you dropped the t in let's because it seems it is dropped in the caption but you didn't when you said it , I just wanted to be sure .

[@alocin110]

Ya it was good but I wanted to just close your video when I heard in the very begining you said "Often", instead of "of'en" with "t" being silent. I though you were just kidding teaching us how to read and pronounce... anyway, I believe in "often", letter t is not pronounced. Anyway, rest of the video has good information. Thank you. I liked your video unwillingly.

[@spikezonetv]

Hey, the word "often" can be pronounced with or without /t/, and it's just a matter of preferences since there are regional accents, way of people saying it. In standard AmE, they tend to drop the /t/, however, pronouncing the word /t/ is actually correct too. Hahahahaha. Jesus, you're learning English but you don't even know variations exist. Hahshshshsh....

[@sympreciousyusuf7931]

The word often can be pronounced with or without the ''t"

[@ji7914]

great
