Go Natural English Podcast | How To Speak Fluent English

  Have you figured out yet that American English is a language full of unusual sounds and spelling? Well, in this English tip, Gabby talks about the Flapped “T”, also known as the Flap T. Simply put, this occurs in American English when a “T” falls in a word between two vowels.   A flapped “T” sounds like a “d” in American English. This is why the words “Metal” and “Medal” in English sound the same. You would distinguish the exact word and meaning by the context in which it is used. Gabby uses “pretty”, “city”, “better”, and “thought of” as good examples of the American flapped “T.”   If you are serious about learning to speak and understand American English, then this tip is for you. By using the Flapped “T” sound you will demonstrate an understanding of American English that escapes some people.
