If you’ve been following my YouTube channel, you know that I’ve been focusing on Natural American English pronunciation recently. Well today, I thought that I would bring that lesson flow to the podcast. Actually, it was a request from one of my students, so Vincent, this is for you!
I noticed that quite often when there is an N and a T together in a word, we….I mean us Americans… often drop the T in usual pronunciation. A common example of this is the word Twenty…eighteen, nineteen, twen(t)y. Tweny!
Here are the example sentences. To get the details of this English lesson, you need to listen to the podcast or check the transcript for the details:
