- How important is it for you to sound like a native speaker of English?

- - Two exercises there you can do with audio or video of native English, to focus very carefully on elements of pronunciation and intonation.

- The flapped ‘t’ sound is not really a ‘d’ sound, it’s somewhere between ‘d’ and ‘r’.
- It happens when a /t/ or a /d/ is between vowels and the following vowel is unstressed.
- latter/ladder - flapped because the ‘er’ is unstressed
- attend - pronounced as a full (aspirated) /t/ because the ‘end’ is stressed
- addendum - pronounced as a full /d/ because the ‘end’ is stressed
- ---
- This is a reduction, like “gonna” or “shoulda”. You don’t need to pronounce it that way in your speech, but you need to understand it when we do.
