I should have perhaps said "modern Southern RP", although I did say "often" because even then, it can vary so much. Out of interest, would you say /stu:/ (more like the American pron) or /stju:/ (going straight into more of a y sound)?

    Same here, I am originally from France, I've lived in the United States for almost 35 years -- I had to 'relearn' how to speak English, LOL -- and sometimes, I catch myself mispronouncing words unintentionally, and correct myself immediately; at first, I was speaking English with a British accent, or as I call it, a pseudo-British accent, and people thought I was from England, which made me very happy, I could even fool British people into making them believe I was from England or whereabouts! And bit by bit, I lost my British accent and adopted the American accent, but there are words I still pronounce the British way, like the word 'leisure' for instance... so I see what you mean, My Little English Page.

If I try to soften it, it sounds just like “tch”, so I usually choose a “safer” way and just say my national “T” which sounds awful as well 🤦‍♀️ Will appreciate a lot if you explain how to properly pronounce this sound.

    This is quite interesting. In the dialect of English spoken in Ireland, we almost always pronounce the “r” sound, and don’t replace it with a vowel sound (as far as I’m aware). For example, I would very clearly pronounce the “r” sound when saying the words “work” or “teacher”

    That's precisely why Americans say the rhotic because of Irish influence. The first time I heard the Irish accent I thought the person was American!
