[holdenru]

Could you explain these pronunciations:

[twoni] for twenty

and

[underSHtand] for underStand (slang, accent, speech impediment?)

[rachelsenglish]

@holdenru Check out my video on how to pronounce numbers ... I have 1 video for 11-20. As for your question on the word 'understand', I've never heard it that way.

Best,

Rachel

sorry to jump in like this, how do you link TH consonant with T (for example) or any other consonant where you have you tongue high up, compare what you just said, 6 or 6.30 (THirty) and "jump in like THis", in both cases you pronounce TH but when you say 6.30 the TH is formed like T (with tongue flowing in the air and not touching the gum), but when you say "jump in like THis" you say it with your tongue out (between your teeth), I hope you get what I'm trying to say, thank you for your videos

[rachelsenglish]

@bsdpowa I have had a lot of people asking about linking with a TH lately, so I'm planning on making a video on it soon.

Thanks for the video. It's really helpful. But how do I link "or" to the word after?

[rachelsenglish]

@sunshine112228 Basically, just don't stop the sound. In a next word that begins with a vowel, like "or another", this might be easier than when the next word is a consonant. Look for it in this video, "er-wait" for "or wait".
