  • SHE SOUNDS LIKE AN 80 YEAR OLD JEWISH WOMAN FROM BROOKLYN... HAHA

  • What are you talking about? Both /s/ and /t/ are voiceless consonants, /s/ is a fricative and /t/ is plosive... Do not say /ti:/ when referring to the sound, because it is a letter and the sound is /t/. It seems like you have no basic knowledge of phonology.

  • this is so wrong!!!!!! i live in the suburbs of NYC and they deffinatly dont sound like thus. maybe brooklyn but not NYC

  • whats the difference between nyc accent and boston?

  • @anushcuh86 Still, I think the claim that /t/ is voiced is much worse than her allegedly phoney dialect, in the end, she is supposed to be an expert. Back to topic, take into consideration she's doing the 'standard' NY. I mean, how many people speak standard really? Don't be so harsh ;)

  • I think languages are fascinating. I've been learning English for which seems like forever, and I really like trying different accents. I was trained in RP, but I love all kinds of dialects and accents. I think it's a good exercise. So, any New Yorkers out there, please, go easy on this lady. I know it's probably not very accurate, but that is the only chance for people like me, who'll never get to pick up the dialect by simply being in NY, to maybe get to know it a little bit.

  • t is voiceless; she shouldn't go around giving wrong information

  • very Aussie!!
