Anthony! When you pronounce "party", my observant ears catch an unnatural way of speaking or a foreign accent from your utterance. You pronounce it while you are thinking, which is clearly heard. However, your video is helpful. It is an important video.

Hi Rama, Thanks for your comment. I wasn't able to catch my pronunciation of the word 'party' as you pointed out. I cannot deny that my accent has been affected by my long career of teaching English. Many Americans ask me where I am from! However, my big mistake occurs in the video at 2:52 where I pronounce 'controversial' (ˌkɔntrəˈvɜːʃl̩ )as 'controversal' (ˌkɔntrəˈvɜːsəl̩ ).😂
