@Jzna I have a problem saying "and". You know how they go like "ehnd" or something? I can't say that. I just can't. And that applies to any word that has "a" in it that would be pronounced as "e" if you know what I mean. I suck xD I'm never gonna learn this
@AccurateEnglish *if T / TT is in a middle of 2 vowels. T is pronounced as soft D right?
so how do you pronounce "natural"? is it pronounced as nadural?
how about sensitive? attempting? editor? is this rule applicable to all words or there is an exception?
*if N is followed bt T. T become silent right? how about the words: fundamental? intonation? centuries? is this rule also applicable to all words with /NT/ or is there also an exception?

@Ethriuz When the T is within a stressed syllable, it remains a T as in "attempting." Yes, there are always exceptions with language. T +UR also has a special pronunciation as in "turkey", "turn" "century". They have almost a "CH" sound as in "try" and "traffic" because of the R that follows. I review some of these exceptions in my book, but could not cover them in a short video.

what about words with double "T", for example "getting" or "pattern"?

@ShaniaHalliwell It doesn't matter if the word is spelled with one T or a double T. So, the Ts' in "water" and "better" sound exactly the same.

how would you say accuate? you cant really replace a 't' by a 'd' in this case right?

@nataliatsh no because the final "e" is silent.
