  • Hi, despite you said the second one is not American, I heard many Americans pronouncing words the same way as the second option. Cheers, L

  • @sublimeaudio They do pronounce that kind of sound, but not before an N. For example, "butter" and "button" have a different T sound.

  • I have been doing this mistake since I remember !

  • as an american, I never realized how hard it is for others to make this sound

  • its easier if u have a gum in your mouth !

  • @talya0ideozu I am, as I want to reduce my Italian accent; but sounding American is quite difficult because I've always been taught to pronounce words the BE way; so a lot of T and almost no Rs :) :)

  • lol, Spanish was my first language, but I moved to the states when i was really little, so English is the main language I use, I never understood why it was so difficult for my parents to grasp this concept, they still have horrible accents.
