- My one of a kind pronunciation training program, Clear English Academy, is now enrolling for the week of May 22nd, 2024. Click here to learn more: www.clearenglishcorner.com/cl...
Have you ever wondered about how Americans say T? The T sound is very distinct in the American accent. In this accent reduction lesson, you will learn about the 4 types of American T: True T, Flap T, Held T and Vanishing T. T is one of the most common consonant sounds in English, and learning the American English pronunciation will go a long way to helping you speak like a native American speaker.

Hellow
That’s what makes it easy to understand, I’ve been listening to English for a lot of years and sometimes I struggle trying to understand their words but the way she speaks is so easy to listen like my native language
I’m watching it now in 2024🥺
Like me 😅
Me too😅
You are not alone)
Why r u sad?!

Eager to try this. I have a southern US accent. Throughout school, our teachers worked hard to correct the most distinct elements and since my mom has a nationwide job, she has adopted a completely (to my ear) accent. I found it useful in my first job to fall into a southern accent when needed -- I believe it helped me connect with my rural patients. 25 years later, it's pretty ingrained. My career is changing, however, and I will be doing more speaking and do not want my southern accent to be a focus or distraction (I have learned it can be).
I like that you explain how to make the pronunciation in detail. For me as a German I can improve my accent to make it sound less harsh, like with the held T that I didn't use before. So awesome.
OMG, this video is amazing. As a Portuguese speaker, it is so hard to get all these little details. In my case, even after 2 years of living in Canada, I'm still struggling to reproduce these sounds. Thank you so much.
A whole world of pronunciation just opened up! Thanks so much 🙂🙏
Mrs. Keenyn Rhodes you are an amazing excellent teacher I see you like an angel comes from the sky. I understand your teaching 100% I have been here in America for about 7 years and I have never heard someone speaks clearly and meaningfully likes your teaching. I was frustrated and very sad because I couldn’t overcome my problems with speaking English language fluently and clearly.
I have been watching, and learning from, many TH-cam English teachers for quite a long time. I can say without any doubt that you are the best because of your precise but concise presentation, clarity, helpful tips or rules etc. Thank you so much, I am being hugely benefitted by your kind efforts to help non-native and new users of English.
I have been watching and learning from many TH-cam english teachers but you are amazing teacher.I can say with out any doubt your statges is amazing .lastly God bless you.
Hira it's true,her voice is amazing and of course she's a great teacher!
You're one of the best teacher I have known ever.
These types of videos are very good to learn and understand English better.

I love your approach to not giving your students 2 types out of 4 and telling them to subscribe for the other 2! Although I totally understand if you would, this clearly shows how concerned you are about your actual goal which is teaching English. I hope that any kind of subscription alternative that you followed goes well and this could become the de facto teaching approach. Thank you so much, your channel is the only one that I always find useful and I feel that it really elevate my level in using and understanding English.
I am an IT professional and help others in my team / outside with business communication basics (tone, pauses, choice of words, fillers or the lack thereof) since i interact heavily with American people. I am average at it but was clueless about these details wrt pronunciation. Thank you. Much appreciated.
it was indeed very practical for non-native speakers to speak more like native . Hope to see more like this in the future.
thanks for your strive and struggle you are doing for English learners.
warm regards
I am a native Czech speaker and it's hard to even pronounce the "true t" since our "t" is stronger. So I still need to learn how to soften it up. I'm binge watching your videos and my entire face hurts haha. Thank you!
Aula excelente! Esclarecedora! Uma coach dessas é tudo que um estudante de Inglês precisa pra começar a fluir com o idioma!
I have been teaching Chinese students for so long and I always hear them say wa T er instead of wa d er.
I even heard Chinese teachers saying it and I thought I was losing my mind, its good to see my pronunciation wasn't wrong.
I am not a native so I was never quite sure, thank you Keenyn.
It's really very interesting listening to your explanations. You're an excellent teacher. Sometimes see that English or American accent training is very useful for all learners but it's very complex. Even after you have mastered everything of it and speak standard American Engish the difficulty in understanding people still remains unsolved.
Perfect lesson, the best accent teacher ever.
Thanks for your lesson altough that I am Angolan I have been leaning English for along time and I have never had a problem with American Language accent not American English but American Language and I started my english when I was 17 years old and today I am 52 years once more thank you to rimind me this lesson.

Hi Seema, I’m a 16 year old American-born Indian and I’ve made a course specifically to teach Indians how to ace an American accent. I recently launched my channel here on youtube and would LOVE your feedback!
I really miss your lessons since I was completely busy. You did your homework and your part as it should be. So I appreciate it. Keep it up wonderful and gorgeous coach.
I'm a Indian. I liked your way of explanation. I love your expression.😊☺️
A perfect coach.
Good work.😏😏
Thanks so much MANTHAN KUMAR! So glad you are enjoying the lessons! 😊
Hi
Your AN Indian.
Bruh! Your emoji game is weak though
@@ontheroadwithyode390 You're* If you're gonna correct someone, at least do it right!
Here in India, maximum people (especially school children) make use of the British English but hey! I'm in love with the American accent and prefer the same while speaking. Thank you for the tutorials! ☺️❤️
Oh my!!! You’re the best teacher ever!!!
Hi, Keenyn.I'm a non native speaker and I was facing so much problems while pronouncing the America "T" sound. It wouldn't be be clear to me if I didn't watch your classes. My accent is getting better gradually. I love your classes very much. I want to be a great teacher like you. Keep going on. Thank you so much.
Hi,I love your classes.keep going on.Thank you. So much.
Keenyn@ You are so lucky.
You're an amazing teacher. Thank you so much for sharing your lesson. I almost pronounce the T sounds as you do here. I've learned that by ear. It's good to make sure of it grammatically.
This is something they never thought us in school. And I was taking English classes for 12 years.
I am an Indian and I am enjoying and learning through your class ..thank you so much 👍🏾
I believe, for us, Portuguese speakers, the Flap T sounds like an "R" sound. However I learned when I was in college that the Flap T is just a D sound.
Yes, Max Martins, your ears do not deceive you! The Flap T sounds like a soft R in several languages. It does not sound at all like the American R, and that is why you don't hear me explain it this way. 😊 If it helps to think of Flap T as like your soft R you absolutely should!
I'm Italian and I thought the same
Especially with "but I"
I'm a Spanish native speaker and for me it sounds like R as well :)
I guess that happens to all the people who speak a Romance Language.
The same happened to me and I´m a native Spanish speaker
THANKS , I LOVE YOUR ACCENT
This is my first time english accent lesson，I love your voice!
You're a grea(t) teacher I've learned alo(t) from ya like the way I'm writtin' 'T' righ(t) now disregarding it when it's on the end of the word.

@@ClearEnglishCorner super
Thanks a lot for this video. It's really useful and could help no native speaker to understand American english especially when the sound /t/ change completely to /d/sound or when it's not pronounced at all. Looking forward to see more video abour connected speech.
Outstanding explanation teacher, thank you so much 💯!
Omg your accent , I like it ,it's so clear 😍 I want to speak English like you
This is helpful not only for people learning English but for those of us helping our loved ones. As a native speaker, it's sometimes hard to explain what we already know from many years of repetition.

You impart the knowledge in an amazing way!
Very informative and it is a good thing that you get straight to the point w/o beating around the bush, unlike many other TH-camrs. Keep at it!
I studied English from many years until America did not benefit from them like you. Thank you Keenyn Rhodes.
Truly thanks for making this video! As a non-native speaker, I have come a long way since I started learning English at the age of 9-10 abroad, but I still struggle with the "flap t" or "d sound" only when it comes after an "r" sound, like in the words "berta," "marty" or "authority". It takes a lot of effort to pronounce words with "r-t" in them individually, let alone as part of a quick casual sentence. And I don't know why the abrupt change in the position of the tongue for these letters just doesn't become automatic for me. Tips? Thoughts? Anyone else struggles with this? Thank you!
Truly thanks for making this video as a person speak I have to come long way since I started learning English at the age of 8-12 abroad, but I still struggle with the sounds only when it comes
You are absolutely good teacher
i'd listen to Keenyn's voice anyday, such an intelligent person with voice fitting for audio book or podcast. thanks for explaining! Subbed

My best teacher you are like my school English teacher thank you again
I always listened 'd' sound in some words instead of 't'. Now, I have an explanation of that. Thank you!
Very effective class, thanks
Awesome dilip basumatary! So glad you found the lesson helpful! 🤗🤗🤗
I just realized that replacing flap t sounds with true t sounds makes you sound more British.
You are a very interesting and a stunning teacher. Thank you for teaching!
This finally explains me this crazy "flap t" sound. :) Thank you very much!
