Problem is not English but how it is taught. You are a good teacher,which is not something that all teachers can say to be. I’m still a learner but I realise so well how my teachers were crap. They focused on exercises instead of on spoken English. Practise is what it matters,not being good at doing exercises.

Well, I fancy speaking English with a glottal stop, which is transcribed or symbolised /ʔ/ in the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet), relating to or produced by the glottis. It is commonly used by Brits, especially who speak English with Cockney Accent. It is really popular in the United Kingdom.

[@SpeakEnglishWithChris]

That's right, you've got it!

[@rezza2507]

Cheers, Chris.

Thanks a lot my amazing teacher keep up the good work!!!

[@mikefleischauer498]

As an American, I hear the glottal t most often in words with t or tt in the middle, often in progressive and past tense constructions like putting ("pu'-ing") and knitted ("ni'-ed). I hear it a lot from African-Americans and maybe in some regional accents (St. Louis?, Utah?). In one FB group I'm in, an older woman from the Midwest posted that she hears ir a lot from younger woman and girls in her area (Iowa/Nebraska) ... and finds it quite annoying ;) ).

Excellent performance

[@HuyNguyen-bn4oq]

Thank you! Can you make another video about glottal stop in place of p and k sound? I'm so interested in it. However, I can't find another video like this on KZbin. Thanks!

[@ahmedfarhan843]

In IELTS listening,, I listen that majority teachers use glottal T / stop. For instance, Britain, statement, apartment, Department etc. I am Bangladeshi, I also use glottal T in speaking test.

[@cha7017]

Thank You Chris❤😍

[@dancewithpranali4721]

Hello I am not able to glottal stop I request u to give some tip thank you the video is wonderful with great explanation

[@waqasahmad6111]

Please make a video as to of Vs off

[@moutace]

Great job! I really appreciated your video. But I have a question: is it possible to nasalise the 't' in words like internet, international, santa, winter etc, in British English? Is this a kind of assimilation also common in any region of the UK?

[@dinaenovero5978]

I love your videos ❤️❤️ I'm a beginner here trying to learn new language... thanks po

[@mikefleischauer498]

By the way, thanks for giving me the proper terminology for the tapped t (sounding like d). For years, I never thought I had an accent. My parents being from Michigan (Dad) & southern California (Mom), living overseas as an "embassy brat for 5 out of my first 7 years, living in California for 5 years (ages 7-12), moving to the Mid-Atlantic, going to college with a lot of kids from the NY Metro area, & living for over 50 years in the Baltimore-Washington area, ... I always thought of my generic American accent as "unaccented" . Then I read Thomas Friedman on Indian help center phone workers being taught to slur their t sounds into d sounds in certain situations. Saying those tapped "t"s as "proper" t sounds make me sound like an RP speaker. Son of a bitch! I have an accent!!!

[@changehealthcaresolutions-8168]

Great informative video, many thanks

[@SpeakEnglishWithChris]

Glad it was helpful!

[@elisabethgrc]

Most helpful, thank you!

[@shintacahyani3465]

Thank u so much

[@avinashtony4639]

Thank you very much for the video

[@SpeakEnglishWithChris]

You are welcome

[@robinmacqueen1925]

This was interesting. As a Canadian native English speaker, in most of the cases you so carefully described, Canadians would NOT use the glottal stop. For example, we would never use the glottal stop in the middle of "Britain" or "butter." In those words, many Canadians would use the "tapped" t like the Americans (sounds like "budder"). Others would really say the "t", not use the glottal stop. But now I have understood something about how to mimic an English accent, which is a party trick people sometimes try to do! Just goes to show the diversity of the English language.

[@zen747]

Very good video thanks,

[@SpeakEnglishWithChris]

Glad you liked it!

[@rulamagic]

I think those are examples of stop t instead of glottal stops

[@Ricardo-xg6gx]

Today's video has been amazing, only one thing I would like how could I train the glottal sound? As you probably know this sound is completely new tor some of us and we need to train it but how?

[@SpeakEnglishWithChris]

Ok, maybe I can talk about that in another video

[@RaquelSantos-hj1mq]

Say uh uh uh uh really fast. You can't say vowels in a row without stopping the sound so it works with any vowel. Do you know the song "Staying Alive?" "Ah ah ah ah Stayin' alive Stayin' Alive" Every time you sing that, you're using a glottal stop. 😊

[@GoldenSunriseMagic]

How do you pronounce 'here'? Thanks a lot!

[@makhshafkhan6007]

As far as I think glottalization is last step to perfect native accent

[@AdebayoAdejoke-p9k]

Why did not win'er in winter?

[@Doggosandwich]

Can You make a video on the 'R' concept I am really confused ಠ︵ಠ

[@SpeakEnglishWithChris]

Sure, that's a good idea

[@jabirmk1556]

👍👍👍👍

[@srbdhillon1903]

Passed my mind, you gonna start mixing while teaching other people. It happen sometimes when we teach other we start doing same thing because of regular repetitions.

[@brits5650]

How do you tell between can and can’t

[@SpeakEnglishWithChris]

I have a video about that right here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqHLZ5Kmo9yrptE :-)

[@kennethbrush7300]

It’s just too difficult🤣

[@momenshaheen2951]

no special comment from me because uhh I'm too small for understanding what global bal is..... so yeah

[@もうりこごろう-c5s]

The t in nineteen, albo be glottal t?

[@SpeakEnglishWithChris]

Normally the t in nineteen is pronounced as a full t

[@SuhailBhat3745]

Hhhhh

[@BuddyGreenbloom]

The Glottal Stop is a lazy mans yodel. ;)

[@cartbbb3146]

Yes ! Bc they butchers the fck out of our native tongue lol 😆
