Professional TeacherToday we are talking about pronunciation, specifically what happens to T's at the ends of many words. This is a response to a student's question. Please comment or message me with questions for me to cover in future episodes!
Here are all the words and phrases I talk about today. All of them usually have a "stop" (a stopped sound) instead of a full T sound. I have added some others which are common to the end of the list.
Almost all words that end in a vowel sound followed by a T drop the T and make it a stop:
cat
hot
that
flat
part
short and sweet
What do you think about that?
Did you get it right?
Extras (in no particular order):
about
out
but
without
put
not
rot
butt
nut
despite
kite
right
alright
etc.
There are many, many words light these. Comment some below!
Have a great week everyone! See you again soon!

I noticed that someone would stress the "t" sound in transition words (e.g., but), especially when they are thinking about their next sentences. It's sort of like 'you know' or 'like', not sure if that makes sense.
