Hi teacher..!! from Algeria 😊♥️

[@saaidfouad7058]

How do you pronounce the t in these words?
Fain(t), wen(t), ren(t), sen(t), cen(t), appointmen(t), assignmen(t), patien(t)

[@SpeechModification]

The pronunciation will depend on the context. Typically these would be a stopped t sound when we say them by themselves, when they aren't linked (like at the end of a sentence), or when they are linked to a word beginning with a consonant (as in "sent that, rent something" etc.). When linked to a word beginning with a vowel (as in "sent it, rent a," etc.) we would either drop the t ("sent it" sounds like "sennit"), or use an aspirated t ("send it" sounds like "sen-tit").

Hii teacher!
In word like ENTREPRENEUR. In 2nd syllable do we pronounce the TR sound 🤔or Chr sound 🤔

[@SpeechModification]

We use /tr/. Here's a video for your word: th-cam.com/video/IsiMCcp0vis/w-d-xo.html

At the beginning of the video ,you pronounce “bureau” as “biro” ,but you assert after a while that “u” should be pronounced as “y”…!

[@SpeechModification]

It's possible that I pronounced the /j/ "y" sound a little closer to /i/, but the sound that Y makes is "ee-uh" /i-ə/, /j/ when fast, so it also could be that you heard the /j/ sound as /i/, and then once you understood the sounds I was explaining, you heard it as "y." When I listened to the start of the video just now, I heard /bjʊ/ both times I said the word, but it was fast the first time and slower the second.
