Silent T and D at the End of Words
ฝัง

- Learn when the letters/sounds t and d are removed at the end of words. When are the t and d sounds silent at the end of words. I also talk about the glottal stop at the end of words and how to pronounce it.
Removing /t/ and /d/ isn't vital to use in your own speech, however, it's very useful for your listening comprehension. :)

I teach using just one of many accents in the world. Please only learn it if you like it and if you are interested in learning it. I do not believe there is one “correct” accent or manner of pronunciation and I fully encourage EFL/ESL learners to expose themselves to as many varieties of English around the world to become accustomed to the beautiful variations of this world language. I focus mostly on teaching “Modern RP” (I may just say “RP” in my older videos, but to clarify, I do specifically mean “Modern RP”), however, you will hear a lovely little Yorkshire twang to my accent from time to time too. Please LOVE and BE PROUD of your accent. After all, it is part of your identity and makes you unique. 💚

I had missed this technique until watching this today. Thanks Emme
I'm listening to a podcast from Michael where you are participating. And you've just said that you're learning Portuguese! My mother tongue! This amazing! 😍. I really wanted you to know that my english has improved so much thanks to your lessons on TH-cam! Thank you so much!
Happy you found me through Michael’s podcast :)
Hello!
Even though gratitude does not pay the bills, I really want you to know that I am grateful. Thank you Emma! Thank you for your 2 TH-cam channels and those podcasts.
My English is very good, I don't need an English teacher, but sometimes I learn some things I didn't know thanks to your videos /podcasts.
Thank you! Well done!
ALHAMDULILLAH, Helpful video for everyone.
Are you Indonesian?
Thank good class
hahaha
Mtlb?
@@acelarsson9329 don't think so
You are an amazing teacher there is no doubt that you are one of the best teachers in the world.
I am grateful to you.
Many thanks.
Emma I dunno why n how but whenever I see ur videos, I just become extremely happy. You videos tend to make me smile alot. It's probably coz I start felling like I can do this (british accent), or maybe because I start felling like a Britisher whenever I watch your videos.
Thank you teacher❤❤
omg, glad I found this video! I have been thinking about how to connect words ending with t and it, i have been saying them without much thoughts but when I do think about it I was confused, now it makes a lot more sense
Hello Emma ,
That's the perfect video thanks Emma for your efforts and for the best video of silence t and d You said that T and D will tell why we keep silent and you told and I am wating for this best part hurrah !! It's come 🥳 and before( 4pm )uk time 😊
Im going to give a speech next month and I was really frustrated because I can't pronounce those consonants, after having seen your video I've got more confident with my pronunciation. Thanks Lady :D
Thank you. Greetings from Algeria 🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿
I from Mexico! Your videos are excellents! I learn english pronunciation with you! Thanks Emma! And greetings from Mexico!!!!
Thanks! These rules are eye-opening for me!
You give me an answer that I suspect for a long long time ago. Thank you, Emma.
It happens naturally. I noticed that I do it very often even in phrases like inside me, all right, don't etc. Speaking like this is easier and more fluent and understanding different accents is getting better. And I'm not stuck in it any time I can change my type of pronunciation and that delivers.)
Well explained.. fantastic energy....
Emma is praise, toll, magnifica.
Morning Ms. Emma! Fantastic video one more time you made my day.
How great you are! May God bless your life. 😙😙😙😙
Good job!
I just discovered your channel and I love it!
Thanks for all your help. I love your videos. I am shadowing your accent, because I love it.
thank you so, so much! i am not a native english speaker and though i can understand + write + listen very well, i unfortunately neglected my studies on how to properly speak and pronounce things. my accent is very strong, but this helped me immensely. i sound completely different already LOL. thank you, Emma!
Your teaching style is so good . Love from India
Nice to see your comeback Teacher Emma.
I am a native English speaker (just 70 years experience…) but I’ve never really thought about this before. You are correct that we do sometimes drop the fricative at the ends of words, at least in normal conversation. This is certainly important for language students to be aware of, so they can follow dialogue more easily. But I wouldn’t encourage them to do it themselves, unless they are very confident - foreigners’ attempts to speak colloquially are often a bit embarrassing.
It’s also important to be aware that these dropped ‘t’s and ‘d’s are really elisions not glottals.
I don't quite understand the intention behind your comment as it's riddled with mistakes, sadly.
Ellision and glottal stops are two different things (both covered in the video but they're NOT the same thing and that's made quite clear).
Furthermore, /t/ and /d/ aren't fricatives, they're plosives.
Finally, non native speakers can choose to speak however they wish. If they want to cut or glottalise sounds, they should be able to. This video is for those people as well as those who want to simply understand it.
Are u a ns?
thanks teacher for improving our language , you looked a great.
You are a great teacher 👩🏫
Your content is so important -- helps to keep my English sharp. I'm glad you took time to look after yourself first. :)
I just figured that without an Emma, there would be no videos 😅
@@Pronunciationwithemma -- I imagined you'd think that. There's a lot of free content on TH-cam. I know what's like to be depressed and anxious, trust me. You matter as a person and I truly sympathise. :)
Hi, Emma! I love your videos.
thanks
Thank you, Emma! Excellent video
Love your way of utterance
This is very very helpful. Thank You Emma.
Your videos are like a shot of energy (similar to Redbull) they are necessary to watch in little doses because the rhythm is so high that can be exhausting, seriously great work, greetings.
Haha! Imagine how I am filming them 😂 they take a lot of energy
this is very beneficial for me, thanks a lot, please make more videos about how to pronounce like a native speaker and how to speak easily like a native speaker
Thank you Emma ❤️
Very very nice video!!
You made my day, I've found it uncomfortable when making the /t/ and /d/ sound in the end of a word in a sentence
I got it maam....thank you thanks a lot💞💕💓💓❤️❤️❤️
Great job Emma ❤👍👍👍
Advanced congrats for making it to 100,000 subscribers.
I’m not there yet!! 🥺
@@Pronunciationwithemma It is obvious you will reach there. Candidly you deserve far more than this. But nevertheless congrats.
Thank you 😊💚
Hello dear ,
I am too happy to find you ,pretty faced tender mouthed.I am boastful that I teach British English according to Oxford dictionary phonetic transcription I really think that I utter as you do ,but this is the first time I found such an English person who goes too fast as you do . that causes a bit difficult to be understood.
At the end I say to you thank you at any rate my angel about all what you do.
Yours sincerely.
I appreciate your work on british pronunciation excellent job
I liked it

Also, the lesson in this video was fruitful.
Would you please make a video about using
affricate sounds and labiodental sounds,
plosive sounds, labiodental fricative sound?

Keep going love ur work from Afghanistan God bless you
Awesome good job madame. I love that quality of your lessons
thank you very much and good luck, it helps my pronunciation
What a helpful video!
Great teacher. But very short class.
It doesn’t need to be unnecessarily longer though :)
谢谢🙏漂亮的Emma👩🏫老师，我跟着你的教学视频学会了
benefited greatly
Emma great job!
Thanks for covering this, Emma! This is especially hard to grasp for people whose native languages don't have many consonant endings.
I’ll be covering consonant clusters at the end of words in the future!! 😊
@@Pronunciationwithemma - Very cool! If you could gather examples of how people from other languages pronounce words, it'd be interesting, too. For example, Vietnamese speakers will say, "houe' instead of "house"... or Taiwanese will say, "bat-uh" instead of "bat".
Thank you so much Emma. Loved your videos!
