Now, I actually use stop T naturally without the awareness that I'm using it, but I want to come back to appreciate this legend in teaching English.
Thanks for watching!
the pronunciation of "can" and "can't" is really great. thank you.
i cant realize the difference among them
@@danielovendedor8287 yes you can, just try to focus on the meaning of sentences. if it is negative /ken/ is in pitch and higher sound, so not /ka'n/ is in a lower pitch, and sound and focus is on the main verb which comes after can.
sorry my mistake, i mean i can do it
@@danielovendedor8287 👍🏻😇
@@alinn2630 thanks for your guide, but i didn’t guess two words can & can’t when i listen in the fast speed
Please never stop make videos, I'm Brazilian and I'm trying speak English alone because now I can't pay a school English and you are helping so much. Thanks you :)

Hi
Your lessons help me a lot. After watching your stop consonants lessons, I have realised that we Indians use a lot of stop sounds in Hindi and our local native languages. That is also called glottal stop sounds. But we have never called them stop sounds and glottal sound. I am using it naturally without even realising. Yet I am having difficulty spotting the glottal stop in stop T naturally in English language listening.
Thanks for sharing Ajay!
I am here because I noticed that I was doing what you call a stop t at the end of words like « caught ». People were asking why I was not pronouncing the t but I was like « I’m pretty sure there is a t because I hear it ». While pronouncing this sentence out loud I noticed I was doing the same with « it ». I think I am actually doing it with a lot more words
Rachel, I love all your videos, I can stop watching them. I live in USA for 14 years and I have an awful accent. Well everyone likes it, but I hate it. So I am truly bless to find your channel. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! You are awesome!!!
I can't thank you enough, Rachel. it's so great to reinforce these concepts with you (since I've LEARNED them with you in the first place, haha.)
Natan Souza :) You're welcome, Natan!
I naturally use the stop T when talking. I’ve noticed that on TikTok now there is a trend towards avoiding the stop T and pronouncing the whole letter.
Oh man, english pronunciation is so weird. God, please be merciful and help us!!!
Jean Carlos agreed, no specific rules in pronunciation, which is driving me crazy.
Woah that's American English. Very different. They ruined/shortened the language.
@@cloudy7989 In America we say words however we want 😤 🇺🇸
lol
God doesn't speak English
Thank you teacher Rachel for this well explainable lesson, I've watched this video today While it was posted 6 years ago thank you again teacher wish you the best.
You're very welcome Ahmed!
Thank you, teacher, you explained it in a very simple and straightforward way, so easy to understand. This subtle difference really helps me to understand and speak English way better 😍❤
You're welcome hường!
That was Rachel seven years ago! A great teacher, since then! 🥰
Thanks a lot John!
Hello Rachel, thanks for all the efforts you’re making. I’m hearing the stop T as ˈa sound!
Like the A in Apple
Example: Peanu’a butter
I think it’s the exact same, but it’s way easier to pronounce it this way than making the tongue ready and never release the sound of a T, I feel chocked
These videos helped me a lot. I tell everyone who's struggling with English pronunciation about this channel.
That's great to hear Daniel! Thank you!
Finally someone who explains that, especially can and can’t, thank you 🙏
You're welcome! :)
Muchas Gracias Rachel!! por compartir tanto conocimiento, sos la más importante guía en mi estudio de inglés (message in Spanish)
Thanks for those explanations, 'cause I saw a video which doesn't explain the pronunciation clearly. It was very helpful.
You're welcome!
Thanks for ur explanation.
I was so confused about this sound. I watched videos on youtube by searching " Unaspirated sound" .
After watching this videos, finally I understood it and can pronounce it ☺
Glad to hear that!
The stop t in Arabic almost sound as the letter (د) (dal) which it's almost close to d but lighter.
And as always thank you for these wonderful lessons they really help alot ❤
You're welcome and thanks for sharing Ello!
@@rachelsenglish my utmost pleasure ❤
@@elloh1195 but the dal sound د actually has a sound we release the air but while pronouncing the stop t we don't.
Your videos are always so helpful and you have such a professional voice and attitude in front of the camera. I always recommend you as a reference and source of information to ESL students.
+Harold Castillo Thank you so much!
🙋friends?
Wow I was just trying to explain this about Northern NJ accents. We aren't dropping the T completely when we pronounce "Trenton" as "Tren- on". There's a slight sound there but I never knew what it was called. Now I know! Stop T.
Say Toronto 🤔
Or a glottal stop.
@@royong2103 Tor on oh. Haha
I always love and come back to your videos, I can say I've adapted, copied some of your manners of teaching to teach myself, in true honesty you are the best teacher I have ever known. I wish some day I can be as amazing and wonderful as you are.
Thanks for watching Lyllies!

You're welcome @dilenepintomenezes7668!
Thank you so much !!! I feel so difficult to distinguish 'can' and 'can't'. Now I feel a little bit better. Like the comparisons and learn more words.

You should look to "stop T" . "I cannnnn" is a long sound. "I can't" is a "short can" and then the tongue goes to the roof of the mouth so can sound the T; but when the tongue is in the right position to release the sound there is no air release for T sound. That's why is called "stop T". So, "can't" sound like there is gonna be a T sound, but there isn't. If you exercise it long enough you will notice the T although there is no T sound. Sounds crazy, but it's ok, this is a crazy language. th-cam.com/video/cnSuZ3gkDDk/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/iZ8p85NRAsI/w-d-xo.html
Can as 👉🏻kn
Can't as👉🏻 kan'
yeah even americans confuse this one a lot of the time.
Please download more like these videos really help me a lot , thank you teacher♥️
Oh rachel thank you so much, it's not only this video you helped me, you helped me with every video. After almost 2 months of hard practicing I finally managed to get a decent pronunciation. You are better than all german english teachers together, I can't just describe how good you are. Thank you very much and keep it up, god bless you my dear
LeDanx Thank you so much! :)
Please keep up posting videos on youtube Rachel. It's been about a year that I I've been watching your video and I'm making a significant improvement now. Thank you very much
joha reem Awesome!
Thank you very much. It's useful for me when I pronunciate "it's" or "let's".
This explanation deserve a subscribe.
Thanks Abbas!
Hello Rach! I have to say this kind of videos are so important to know or to get clues that help me to understand a little bit more , because sometimes the American english seems fast but videos like this makes me improve my comprehension.
Thank you very much Rachael!
michael avi I'm so glad they're helping you!
Thank you, it helped me a lot!
I appreciate it @user-wk9sg5np5i! Thanks so much!
That "stop T" [t|] actually used in "don't" word. For example,
Don't know (don nou) = "dunno"
Don't mind (don main) = "don-mai"
I ran into plate vs play, and this is the explanation! Thank you!
Rachel, in your explanation you said ‘different than’. It should be ‘different from’ not ‘different than’ nor ‘different to’. We wouldn’t say ‘this one differs than this one’ but this ‘one differs from that one’. It’s because the preposition ‘from’ indicates the idea of moving away (from) whereas we say ‘similar to’ because ‘to’ indicates moving towards, as in ‘this one is similar to that one’. ‘Than’ is used in comparison of two things as in ‘ This one is bigger than that one.’
You are my smart teacher Rachael.
Thank you every much.
Well done!
You're very welcome!
@@rachelsenglish thanks a lot,
My pleasure.

Thank you Druv!
This video is very advanced study material.
Thank you for your videos ! I am French and I am trying to get American accent. I find it is easier than British one which is good but maybe too sophisticated ! Well, for the moment my accent is kind of a mix between French, British and American lol.
Hi Rachel. First of all thank you very much for your time and for teaching us the English pronunciation. Today I have these words that sounds to me almost the same: "Precedent and President" Thank you again and have a good one.
Congratulations! Useful video!!!

Hello there and you're welcome!
✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️
Outstanding, brilliant! It’s best explanation I’ve ever heard.When you are trying to make stop-t, you should be able to feel a little puff of air coming out as you look at a d but pronounce a /t/?
Congratulations! God bless you!
Hi Rachellll :) THanks a million for this minin lesson . he stop T is just a amazing
You're welcome SHA. Happy to know that our work is helping people around.
Thank you teacher, from VN!
You're welcome Tung!
This is how I learned the difference between way and wait
WAY
- A little bit longer
- Lift the back of your tongue and leave the tip down ( short i vowel )
WAIT
- Quicker
- The back of your tongue is down and the tip is up behind the avela Ridge" the little gum" ( I might have spelled avela ridge incorrectly but yeah lol smh )
-Make the stop with your throat
When you raise the tip at the end you already got the stop t part in my opinion
Basically it's how I also got it, after watching this video and a couple of other on TH-cam. I wonder if this rules apply also to stop t's in the middle of words like mountain and bottom.
Mountain ( there's a flat t here, but u kinda have to blend in with the n. I don't really think you get what I mean but there we go.
@@soniasantos8418 Rachel has a video which deals specifically with the pronunciation of t's in words such as "mountain" and "sentence". According to her, most Americans pronounce these t's as a glottal stop. Other channels on TH-cam also have videos stating the same (e.g. Sounds American). Indeed, the word "mountain" seems to be one of the most cited examples of glottal stops occurring in the middle of words. Pronouncing it as a flap feels awkward in the mouth and doesn't sound natural (I'm supposing you meant "flap" rather than "flat")
@@saulberardo5826 yup that's what I mean.... I'd just forgotten the name ....
Sonia Santos hi
As a native English speaker I've only ever used "True T" when I end the sentence with that sound (or when I only say the word). When I talk normally with the word in the middle of the sentence I use a "Stop T." I didn't even realize that I pronounce T's differently based on where they are in a sentence. For instance, if I say, "Wait, I can't even fit my feet in these shoes," 'wait', 'feet', 'can't' all have the "Stop T" sounds. However, if I do a long pause after saying 'wait' then I do the "Stop T."
Language is weird. Especially when you think about it in depth like this video has made me do.
Thanks for sharing @towellight9400!

Thank you my smart teacher
tks!
Rachel you're so pretty in this video. So far the best YT english teacher! Thank you.
Student Student :) Thanks!
My boss told me to exaggerate the T sound so I can sound more American and I was like "but Americans don't even pronounce it most of time".
I like this kind of video!!!
Make a video please , explaining the difference between pronunciation of THEN and THAN
On the topic of T. Many North Americans make it difficult to distinguish between wading and waiting as the "t" is pronounced as a "d".(eg. I've been wading for you for 2 hours.) Same with a word like potatoes pronounced more like "padadas". It must make it difficult for new arrivals.
