often - [ofTen] - Is it right? I saw video where teacher Mark had told "often" as [ofTen]. I had never listened such pronounciation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ou2C9CDeGJY Gray Cee Hi, Mark. As an English teacher in China, I really like your videos. I would just take issue with one thing in this video. "Often" should be pronounced with a silent "t". I think this is a fairly universal rule. (I am Australian.) Mark Kulek Hi Gray! I wouldn't call it a rule. I grew up in California and have always pronounced the "t". I now live in Japan where I also teach English and it has never been an issue of concern, IMHO :)
