I like your channel keenyn, You’re amazing and since I started watching your video my pronunciation gets better every day.. I've been pronouncing words funny for decades that I even develop my own unique way of sounding which I hate but with your video, I'm getting better. Thanks so much. You are an amazing coach.
Definitely not wrong at all! you just sharing the most "common" version of this word in spoken English. thank you so much, dear keenyn rhodes You've got a fan from algeria. Love your videos and lessons
Finally i found this video which my confusion totally *passed away* after watching this fascinating video . The good thing that you have in it that you summarize all the kinds of ending words , so we can know when do we use it . I RESPECT ALL the other youtuber but I think you're teaching the pronunciation BUTTER . You are a BRILLIANT coach 💜
Keenan you are truly an exemplary teacher! Through your lessons I have learned to understand so many things about American English! I'm practicing & passing it down to kids learning English from other countries as well. Many Thanks!! I'm enormously grateful for you/your channel!!
I love you Ms. Keenyn so much. Thank you for your very informative videos. English with you is sooo much easier. I feel way more confident when I speak English just because of you being an amazing teacher. Keep up the great work. May God bless you always. 🌺😘🌺👍💖🎉🤗😘🌺
The way you use the Glottal stop seems very smooth sounding, I seem to hear many others that use Glottal stops, have a very distinct gap or harsh stop between syllables. This is coming from a Canadian btw, I always found Glottal stops harsh to hear to be honest.
Some people say t followed by eh instead of the ə sound. So it's more abrupt. kih ehn i don't like versus kih ən or kih nn I don't know why but it bugs me.
This is something I need to work on. Your videos are so helpful to fix my English pronunciation. Thank you for all your amazing lessons! it means a lot to me:)
This video was made five years ago, but I've noticed in that time, that it has almost become fashionable for younger American English speakers to totally swallow the T in the middle of words and then uptalk the final syllable. It sounds much more deliberate with longer T-drops than your examples. "Button" is normally pronounced BUT-ton, but now, I hear so many people pronouncing it like Buh-IN, Cer-IN, Bu-GAH-ee. Since I'm originally from Chicago, I'll pronounce those Ts as Ds: "Buddin," "Cerdin", "Bugaddi." But I try to annunciate the Ts when outside of that region because people always make fun of it. "Da Bears!"
This is one of the trickiest and most difficult sounds for me to do. Thank you so much for explaining how this sound is done. Will take lots of practice to get it right.
@@TheBuddyLama Don't be an asshole, it isn't mispronouncing anything it's just the American English version. I guess you'll have to go after the British for replacing "-er" with "-ah" then too.
it is not to the point but what I have realised is that in order to pronounce the word 'maTTer' as Americans do, at first you would like to consider learning the jaw dropping sound 'æ' , which is unless I am wrong basically 'e' but also kind of 'a' but closer to 'e' =D. Initially I though my flat T is off, then I noticed my limping æ .
hi ! Can't ressist the temptation of being an enthusiastic viewer of your every video . You are A gifted communicator . Though my qualification has got the U.K. background , I am getting infactuated by the American English i.e. widely used in professional situations . Thanks for being with us &making us comfortable with the same . with.love dear sister .
Hello! I'm studying English at university in Belgium. In that uni, you can pick the accent you want. I chose to speak with a British accent, but I like learning the little particularities of each accents, because I think it is really interesting and it enables me to improve my oral comprehension. Besides, I'd also like to be able to express myself with an American accent. But at university, there is an American teacher who doesn't want us to use glottal stop, flap t or to pronounce "twenty" as "twenny", because she says it is too colloquial. So my question is are there really Americans who don't use those sounds? Do they really sound that informal? Would it sound natural to always pronounce a normal t? Thanks in advance!^^
The Flap T is everywhere. Used by almost all. It's noticeable when people don't use it, but a native speaker might not be able to tell you exactly what sounds different. I have used a Flap T all my life but never knew it existed until I started studying pronunciation. It's just the way we speak around here. The glottal stop is almost as common. I have a friend, and it always stuck out to me and sounded funny the way she said "button" but I never knew why it sounded weird until I began studying pronunciation and learned about the glottal stop. This being said- there is NOTHING wrong with using a True T in all of these instances. It will not impact your clarity (the most important thing). It may sound slightly different, a bit more proper, than your American friends but no biggie. It's really your preference.
Peaceful and beautiful countenance of this teacher also such professionalism when she speaks her perfect English , I imagine myself learning from her English, oh! quickly I will become fluent hhh thanks madam, of course with my respect
Hi dear teacher Your are really beautiful and nice. I have been improving my English through your best method of teaching and excellent explanation. I really appreciate your job. I wish you health ,peace and happiness . Your Student from Algeria.
Excellent observation Noorul T! The n't and nt endings in syllables and words is a glottal stop as well for most native speakers with air traveling through the nose, making a unique sound. There might need to be another quick tip on this topic! 😊
How a subtle tip, thanks Keenyn you're so brilliant as usual, I've always heard it but now I understand where to place it, I expect it would work the same in between your words "not a native" at : .. tell that you're not a native speaker......isn't it god bless you
I think something similar happens to -den as in GARDEN /GAARD'N/. It's not a glottal T but you have to produce the D and the N together in the same position without a vowel sound in between. You could make a video with that as well. Thanks!
Excellent listening Adair José! The /d/ and the /n/ sounds assimilate so much in this example that it's almost like the /d/ disappears. Great lesson suggestion! 😊
You are most welcome sami zerouali! 😊 More to come for sure! Please let me know if there are any specific topics you would like to learn more about- your suggestions really help me to plan future content!
I think it's more useful if you make little conversation and show us how linking the works and pronouns the contractions exm: alot ( alad )~of (ov )people ask me for (fer )my opinion and it's be great from you if you used new vocabulary exm :( don't used safety used cautiously ) It's just opinion and thank you for all .
@@ClearEnglishCorner Hello, Keenyn! It will be great if you create a video about tone, intonation and pitch in american sentences. You always explain the pure practical knowledge. That is so helpful. Thank you!

Wow! This is the most complete and easiest to understand video that I found about this topic. Thank you very much for all the examples. Very useful! I just subscribed :)
This is so helpful 👍🙏🙏 I watched a video by another English pronunciation channel about Glottal T stop, didn't quite get it but the TH-cam Algorithm recommended this video to me! Great explanation and examples! Thank you very much
Thanks for linking this video in your response to my comment on your “nt” video. This is exactly what I was referring to! However, I’ve heard people who use the glottal stop, but instead of saying “n,” they say “in” afterward. For example, instead of “cert’n” they say, “cert-IN” but WITH the glottal stop. To me, it sounds like it’s probably a dialect or accent, but it comes off sounding wrong or very informal. Is there any more information regarding this type of pronunciation? I love your videos. Thank you!
I don't prefer the glottal t followed by eh sound, instead of the ə sound. kih ehn, Idon't like, but kih ən or kih nn, sounds better. I don't know why it bugs me.
Keenyn , your channel's helped me to understand the character of American English, and this video, especially, has made me more aware about how to produce the abrupt stop and the glottal T, again bunch of thanks :-) :-) :-)
Loved this video. I’m from Brazil and I went to NY it was really hard on the begging to understand the glottal stop but now I understand and I also try to copy that hahaha ❤️

Hi my dear coach Keenyn.
Please come soon with your new lesson. My dear coach See you soon
After watching this, I knew my school's teachers have taught us in a wrong way. This lesson really helps.
I'm curious, what did they teach you?
Keenyn, I love speaking style..
That's a good point on the glottal "t" in the American accent. Perhaps one word to try to avoid the glottal stop is "can't".
