I'm from Vietnam. I feel very difficult to pronounce English well before. Because I don't know the shape of my mouth well, thanks to your helpful video, I have gradually improved my English. Thank you so much.
Rachel, thank you very much for all this lessons. I can say that I improved my pronunciation with your videos dramatically. I watched some other videos on other channels too but you explain everything very clearly. Thanks again. I also watched your video on Voiced and Voiceless Ending Consonants. I was blown up because I had been hearing the weak S sound, I noticed that all by myself and was trying to use it in my pronunciation but you let me just know exactly where to use it. Thank you very much. I study English by myself, of course you and other authors have helped me but what I'm trying to say is that I didn't have to go to a school to learn the language and I feel proud to say that I'm an advanced student. Thank you for your time and help.
OMG!! You are amazing!! Hands down the best and most effective explanation I have EVER heard from an American Accent Instructor. I have taken several accent reduction classes and I have lived in America since 2003 and no one before had explained this to me the way you did... I wish I had you as my teacher back in 2013. But I am grateful I finally found you! Thank you so very much and God bless you!
Hi Rachel!! I am here watching your valuable videos every time I can. I still struggling with some english sounds. But i will never stop practicing until I succeed. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Thanks a lot Rachel, you're helping me every time I come across with a new word, or just want to sound more like a native speaker. Rachel = the best :)
I watched & learned many diffirent videos, but I like all your videos. It's so easy to remember, easy to understand the way to speak native American... Thank you so much for your sharing... I love you Rachel...😍😍😍

You gave an awesome explanation no one can't give this type of explanation we can't release stop t or d because the next word is consonant I don't know could I understand or not you told the right dictionary any pronunciation audio doesn't show " party" d sound but American always use d sound thanks for making this video
Hi Rachel!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Another great video!! I always have a problems with the sounds of these two letters. But thanks to you now I can identify the differences from one to the other. Keep it up!!
Mythology will not be repeated as he said the best immortal legend on the history Arnold Schwarzenegger in the sport of bodybuilding. You are the best legend on TH-cam. No one will be like you because you left an imprint, especially in improving pronunciation🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Miss, that sound-representing "d" symbol you teach sounds very similarly to the Spanish single "r" letter like in the world "pera", for example. Many thanks for the video, I found it unfathomably useful.
Thank you for your pronunciation lessons: it really has helped me advance in AmE. Talking about uttering the word 'pronounce' - I now happen to say 'pronunce' instead of 'pronounce' when I talk quickly, but not when I talk slowly ('pronounce'), whilst in pronunciation, simultaneously omitting t's and leaving out the 'u's' as in 'behavior' and even making flap d-sounds. I know AmE starkly differs from BrE. However, I think AmE really fits my total communication and style - it even has made me question whether my accent in English, mutters some Americanism in me, whilst being Dutch. Coming from the influence of Webster on AmE: I know that among others, the word 'behavior', in North America is written differently than practiced in other parts of the Anglo-saxon world: 'behaviour'. Coming back to how I when swiftly uttering the word 'pronounce', say 'pronunce': have I just there made AmE more distinguishable, especially for me feeling a bit arrogant, and think the word 'pronounce' can be shortened by leaving out the 'o' in juxtaposition to the 'u' being dropped in the occlusion of the letter [u] as in 'behavior'?
I am learning British accent but I am in deep love with ur videos, can u give me any recommendations about channels on TH-cam that could help me with advanced British pronunciation??
Rachel thanks to you, I've got better my pronunciation and also my English, I just dream to meet you a day personally and give you a bigggg hug for your help. You are in my world. Cheers from Colombia.
Thank you teacher Today I learned something that I had learned wrong for the pronunciation of double t's, I pronounced differently what is called Flap T and D, the rest is reinforcement
Thank you so much. I've learnt English just living in different English speaking countries and although I communicate successfully, I've never had anyone explaining to me these details to sound properly.
Hello! Great question. You will hear a couple of differences between a Stop D and Stop T. For one, the vowel sound will be just a little longer before the Stop D than for the Stop T. The reason for this is the second difference. When you make a Stop D, it will still be a voiced consonant. This means that when you stop the air flow, you will still have a moment of the voiced D sound. Basically, you'll make the beginning of a D sound, but you won't release it. This helps us hear a Stop D, rather than a Stop T. The Stop T is unvoiced, so you won't hear any voice when you stop the air flow. That difference is what creates the slightly longer vowel sound before the Stop D.
Amazing!!! You help non-native speakers to understand what happens to spoken English. However, is there any difference with ending words like t and d, rd and rt .Thanks
Hi! Yes, there is a difference. I think a video that may help you is this one on the 6 different ways the D is pronounced: th-cam.com/video/UfHNbCtx4cE/w-d-xo.html
Hi Rachel:) T sounds like quick D when: 1. The letter t is between a vowel sound and vowel sound/all r controlled vowel/syllabic l. 2. The letter t is between all r controlled vowel and vowel sound/all r controlled vowel/syllabic l. But why pretend,celebrate,appreciate these words don't sound like that?
Hello! "pretend" is different because the T is at the beginning of a stressed syllable. When a T begins a stressed syllable, you will use the True T - other words like this are "protect, retire". As for "appreciate, celebrate" - the letter E at the end of those words is silent - so the T sound there will very often be a Stop T - though you may hear a True T from some native speakers.
Thank you! This is a wonderful comprehensive explanation. Would love to hear more about final t and d, followed by a word with an initial vowel. "Not now, Not ever. Interestingly, In Canadian English, we don't drop the t sound in the word Interview.
Hello Rachel,Could you help me make a difference between : -you raise that kid/ you raised that kid -they just open the door/ they just opened the door I struggled to make the stop d after N and S as these are already alveolar sounds. I know how to link N or S with th but when there are 3 consonnants it seems impossible to me 😭. Best regards
Hi! Actually, these will sound basically the same in fast, casual English. You can basically drop the ED endings here and let context do the work for you. That is what many native speakers will do!
Hello Rachel I'm very happy you made this video, but I'd like you to give us more about the D pronunciations. I've been listening to a song named "Chester see - That's what I'll be" and it says "When tears find your eyes and you're feeling like life's got you down" so listening to it I noticed I was pronouncing "fine" instead of "find" because the "N" and the "D" sound make the tongue go up to the roof of the mouth, same thing happens when the "D" sound goes after the consonants: M, D, L, etc. and I can hold out those sounds so it makes confusing if it's a stop D or one of the consonants before the D sound. So I'd like to know how to make the "D" and "stop D" at the end of words such as: "FIND, TOLD, SAID, HOLD, TEND and many more... I was talking to a native speaker she said that I was saying: "he tol me" instead of "he told me" but that "D" sound sounds subtle to me, the same with the "D" in "HOLD" for example: can you hold this bottle for me? in that question it's hard for me to notice the "D" in "HOLD" I've also noticed that some native speakers instead of a "D" sound at the end of some regular verbs make a "T" sound to smooth their speech for example the verb in its past from "ARRIVED", a native speaker told me they say something like "arrift" with the last two sounds voiceless so "I ARRIVED HOME" would sound like "I ARRIVT HOME" but sounding like "FT" at the end In some cases they drop one of the sounds llike in: "TEND TO" they don't pronounce the "D" sound, they just drop it. So I'd like to know more about these topics.
After years of searching, I've reached a point with this.The jaws should be moving away from each other to give space for the air to move out and since there is an air trap for a short while and then it releases the air, you will ideally hear the sound in your head before actually hearing it or pronouncing it.
I have a question for you rachal How to pronounce these words with stop linking endings. Big captain and sick captain. Will the ending sound of big change to k sound when linking to captain word?
Yes! You'll use an unreleased G here before the K sound in 'big captain' - this is similar to the unreleased D sound discussed in this video: th-cam.com/video/UfHNbCtx4cE/w-d-xo.html
I have several criticisms for way that American English textbooks teach the pronunciation of plosives. The "voiced" plosives (b,d,g) are actually voiceless. The voiceless plosives (p, t, k) are aspirated voiceless. True voiced consonants are prevoiced which is not phonemic in English. Furthermore, the /t/ sound is slighly affricated. The affrication is more pronounced when /t/ is followed by the /u/ sound such as /tu/ ("Two") is more precisly as /tsu/.
thanks for the video but i have a question how to pronounce words that end with nd verbs and nouns like blind or sound or end or and. like do we make the nd silent as you explained in the video or do we just pronounce the N and leave out the D
Hi! If only drop the D if you are linking into a word that begins with a consonant sound. So, if you just say 'blind' or 'sound' - you need to pronounced both the N and the D consonants!
hi thanks a lot so for recap phrases like blind people. or they sound normal.or end world.or my hand hurting. or just a second friend. land was amazing. we drop the D .thank you
Dear Rachel Could you help me to clarify the following? Is it correct? /d/ pronounced at the end of a word when it stands by itself OR /d/ pronounced at the end of a sentence ==> /d/ can be pronounced in one of 2 below ways 1. /d/ pronounced as true /d/ but light release 2. /d/ pronounced as UNRELEASE /d/ but vocal cord still vibrates Example glad I'm very glad. Thank you so much, my teacher!
Just watched your another video on numbers, [nīnt/dē] are the acceptable ones, then what about [nīnē] (the way I frequently heard it recently from natives), or something like “nighty” (the way the US speaker pronounced it on the Cambridge dictionary website). Thanks for the video, by the way! The distinction between stop and normal T is really perceptible in real speech, I just couldn’t realize it heretofore.
Hello Rachel, I noticed at 3:30 that you said "but we don't release it" you made the t sound in don't very clearly, even though it was followed by a consonant. May I say that there are exceptions to what you just taught at this moment? Thanks so much n greetings from Brazil
Silvania Sil I believe she was just emphasizing “DON’T” so that there wouldn’t be any confusion. In normal conversation that T wouldn’t have been released.

Hi Rachel:)
T sounds like quick D when:
1. The letter t is between a vowel sound and vowel sound/all r controlled vowel/syllabic l.
2. The letter t is between all r controlled vowel and vowel sound/all r controlled vowel/syllabic l.
But why pretend,celebrate,appreciate these words don't sound like that?
Hello! "pretend" is different because the T is at the beginning of a stressed syllable. When a T begins a stressed syllable, you will use the True T - other words like this are "protect, retire". As for "appreciate, celebrate" - the letter E at the end of those words is silent - so the T sound there will very often be a Stop T - though you may hear a True T from some native speakers.
You elaborate things too well and with examples too. Thanks a lot miss.🙂

Hello Rachel
I'm very happy you made this video, but I'd like you to give us more about the D pronunciations.
I've been listening to a song named "Chester see - That's what I'll be" and it says "When tears find your eyes and you're feeling like life's got you down" so listening to it I noticed I was pronouncing "fine" instead of "find" because the "N" and the "D" sound make the tongue go up to the roof of the mouth, same thing happens when the "D" sound goes after the consonants: M, D, L, etc. and I can hold out those sounds so it makes confusing if it's a stop D or one of the consonants before the D sound.
So I'd like to know how to make the "D" and "stop D" at the end of words such as: "FIND, TOLD, SAID, HOLD, TEND and many more...
I was talking to a native speaker she said that I was saying: "he tol me" instead of "he told me" but that "D" sound sounds subtle to me, the same with the "D" in "HOLD" for example: can you hold this bottle for me?
in that question it's hard for me to notice the "D" in "HOLD"
I've also noticed that some native speakers instead of a "D" sound at the end of some regular verbs make a "T" sound to smooth their speech for example the verb in its past from "ARRIVED", a native speaker told me they say something like "arrift" with the last two sounds voiceless so "I ARRIVED HOME" would sound like "I ARRIVT HOME" but sounding like "FT" at the end
In some cases they drop one of the sounds llike in: "TEND TO" they don't pronounce the "D" sound, they just drop it.
So I'd like to know more about these topics.
Great suggestions Anthony! Thanks!

Are (d) and (t) pronounced by placing the tip of the tongue on the alveolar ridge or the front part of the tongue on the alveolar ridge?

Example
glad
I'm very glad.
Thank you so much, my teacher!
You are exactly right! :)
@@rachelsenglish thank you, my teacher.
That's an awesome lesson. One suggestion if you can include tie-dye in next video.
Just watched your another video on numbers, [nīnt/dē] are the acceptable ones, then what about [nīnē] (the way I frequently heard it recently from natives), or something like “nighty” (the way the US speaker pronounced it on the Cambridge dictionary website). Thanks for the video, by the way! The distinction between stop and normal T is really perceptible in real speech, I just couldn’t realize it heretofore.
thanks, I like your lessons because I'm able to learn a lot
On of the hardest ever
Thanks rachel for the lesson it helped me alot 😇😇😇
Hello Rachel, I noticed at 3:30 that you said "but we don't release it" you made the t sound in don't very clearly, even though it was followed by a consonant. May I say that there are exceptions to what you just taught at this moment? Thanks so much n greetings from Brazil
Silvania Sil I believe she was just emphasizing “DON’T” so that there wouldn’t be any confusion. In normal conversation that T wouldn’t have been released.
