    Wow this makes so much sense! Thank you! I'm a non-native speaker trying on some auditions for fun in voice acting animations and it bothered me that even when my pronunciation was very good, my lines didn't feel natural. I knew I've heard some contractions like "isnn he" in shows before, but my bilingual bf was telling me otherwise. Thanks for the explanations, I'll redo less takes because of a missing T. 😁

    Dear Rachel This is a fantastic video. I’m learning English and I practice it for 20 years +. And you’ve just made me realize that I am still deaf to several English sounds. Not catching the difference between negative and positive affirmation can truly impair your understanding of the situation can’t it? (Dropped t 😀). You’re the first one to make it clear to my ears. That’s brillant 🤩. Thanks a ton. Bertrand from Paris
