A recording about both these things.

Hello everyone! Today I am helping you understand native speakers. This is for listening. In the last episode about the letter T, we saw that on the ends of some words, T changes to a "stop," a "stopped sound." (What, that, cat, etc.). Today, we are also talking about T. In many words, T or TT is pronounced as D. This happens when the T or TT is between two vowel sounds. Here is the sentence I use to demonstrate: I read an article today that was much better than the one I read yesterday. I felt that the author was more articulate, the grammar was truly clear, and the range of vocabulary was greater. Here are the words I used for examples today: better matter later water native bottle little barter quarter These words have syllables beginning with T that are stressed (e.g. -tiv- in creativity) creativity particulate articulate retell return Please comment below if you have questions. In the iTalki app, you can also subscribe to the podcast. Have a great week!

Today 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!

3. Offering a new product/service to reach new customers Your business might be doing well, but there is no growth or development and there is a risk that your competitors might take away some of your customers. Innovation sometimes means developing a new product that targets a different market. Although video games were often played by boys, in 2006, video games giant Nintendo introduced the game console Nintendo Wii, successfully targeting girls and older customers with games like Cooking Mama and Brain Training. 4. Changing the way you provide a service By looking at the changes to the customer's lifestyle and needs, we sometimes realise that there might be better ways to serve them. Customers who do not have a lot of time might prefer to have their food or their shopping delivered to their homes, or they might like to do their banking online rather than in an actual bank. Not all innovation will bring success to our businesses, but it can give us the opportunity to grow and learn more about what we do and what our customers might want. What is it that keeping you buying from certain companies over others? Is it a price? A service or something special that you don't even know? Explore and let me know :) To your success!!!
