Thank you for this video explanation. Hearing your pronunciation is very satisfyingly because I mildly obsess about this. I can hear the Glottal stop in peoples speech but I can also hear more tendencies to totally omit even the glottal stop in words like "Cute", making it "Cue". Lets pronounce those held "T" for native English speakers. ESL speakers hats of to you for being multilingual, most Americans are not.

I've been curious about this! Thank you so much

Eventhough this is a complicated phonetic topic, your explanation has worked so much for me. Thanks a lot👍

Glottal stop is something common in British pronuncistion. Thanks a lot Haddar.

Where I most commonly notice this is in words like button or bottle. My grandmother always insisted it was ignorant and sloppy. But she thought the same about the schwa. Used to be I'd not hear this in formal speech, but over the decades it seems to becoming more frequent.

Thanks a lot for your explanation.

Thanks a lot about your great lesson my amazing teacher keep up the good work!!! I'm learning more from you

Best teacher ever!

Thanks a lot about your great lesson my amazing teacher keep up the good work!!!!

You are great teacher)👍

This is how I pronounce some words ,so I'm on the right track😍 Words have a held T: mountains

Terrific

These videos are true gems, thanks a lot (: By the way, at 4:29 did you say "Psych yourself over about it"? I've activated the subtitles but they only seem to be available in Spanish

I love how allergic Americans are with “t” ✌🏼 • twent̸y • mount̸ain • fount̸ain • want̸ed • right̸ now

Hello, I really appreciate your video. I'm teaching ESL in France and one of my advanced students is trying to explain to my beginner students "how to sound more American" by condensing words and using the glottal T. As a teacher, and specifically an English teacher by trade, I'm somewhat opposed to beginner students learning to speak English the "lazy" way. Once they are confident in their knowledge of the language, sure have at it, but in the beginning, I think it's better to stick to learning English properly. What are your thoughts?

I’ve been learning English for 3 years now and I’m somewhat confident about my pronunciation. Clear T’s are awesome and you’ll be understood by all, but sometimes you want to sound more natural or fast, and that’s the tricky part. Clear T’s and, because your students are French, their D’s are also clear, are harder, and at least to me, much slower. I’ve been trying to learn the glottal stop because I have this bad habit of omitting the letters T and D to make everything sound fluid, but it’s been proven a real problem because, as I try to be more natural, it only sounds like I’m lazy. That’s a real lazy English. “West side” becomes “wesside” instead of “Wes’ side”. So be considerate: you don’t have to teach them how to sound American, but make sure they don’t omit that T.

@@shutapp9958 Thank you for sharing your experience. I think you're correct in that it's more important to teach the language properly... The class I'm teaching is American English and as such, it has slight variations compared to British English. But what most non-native speakers fail to remember is that before we learned to condense our verbal language, we had years of practice speaking and a natural progression of condensing automatically happens. The more you submerge yourself in American English, the more native you'll sound... it just takes time 😊

@@a.l.e.m. Thank you, I can tell for sure that you are an encouraging and nice teacher. Wish I could have someone like that to help me out. Being self-taught has given me good fruits, but not having any one to guide me is dangerous; I can easily be mistaken and that knowledge will stick around until I force it out of my brain. Take that into consideration, if you will :). But yeah, you said something that I had forgotten, even as I kid took time to learn my native language. That’s was well pointed. Once you get to see the immersive English speaking world, is a matter of time and effort till you’re ready. But until then it’s better have a natural flow!

People are not putting their tongue to their teeth but failing to release it. They are performing a glottal stop with their tongue loose in their mouth. Quite literally leaving the letter out

Why we use a glottal stop in the word button, but not in the bottle for instace? I don't get that.

language doesn't have to abide by any rules, it develops naturally! In this case, British speakers often pronounce the glottal stop in "bottle", but Americans don't. No particular reason, just how the language developed, hope that helps!

Hi

If we use the glottal stop in English, it is a sound in English

It is not “just another way” to pronounce a held t. You even said yourself it’s not a sound in English. Just because people do it doesn’t mean it’s correct.

The flap t is also not a phoneme (like in the word ‘Betty’) it’s an allophone and as such, acceptable:)

You're so beautiful my teacher. I want to get married with you.

Replacing the t with a glottal stop sounds extremely unintelligent and lazy and does detract from understanding.

Just say no to the glottal stop. People who do it advertise their youth and inexperience, they sound foolish.

@@1982Nels "Advertise their youth and inexperience"? Do you think the glottal stop is just an affectation or something? It's a genuine feature of many dialects in all English-speaking countries. I don't understand why some people have such a problem with the way people pronounce things if it's not incorrect speech. You kinda just sound like a jerk lol

I politely disagree. One IS better than the other. This is an affectation by people who want to sound fancy. In some cases it takes away from being understood. If you want to be understood, say the t's.
