This is amazing and gold content! One question I have for you - how does one remember these things when speaking? I don't check for Ts coming after Ns when I talk obviously - so how does one remember these "rules"? I want to be deliberate - any tips / hints here? could maybe be an entire video !
Take my online courses for lots of practice sentences for all the rules. As you practice over and over with those it will be come more natural and eventually you won't have to think about it anymore!

It's a good one. Though i live in India but it will help me to improve my accents. We have been taught in british english and we can write it well but our accents are ordinary (for most).

And there is no shame in admitting that Americans speak English much better. Good video mam
