In Consonants^x, Glottals^x

Hmm. I agree that you are not going to hear those consonants fully pronounced, but saying it's left out completely and giving those transcripts seems misleading to me. They are probably replaced by glottal stops, tightening of the throat, light tapping, etc... A non-native won't probably...

Hi,yes, I remember you asked about him. I'm not an expert at all, but I can tell you my opinion, as a learner.I agree it's a good accent for those who are interested in British English. I don't find any annoying features in his accent (=features I don't like). It doesn't...

That what I call a "British accent that doesn't sound awful, affected, formal", so an accent that I like. Good choice! The good thing I noticed right away was his glottal stops instead of T's. And T's are not pronounced at the end of a word either. The other consonants are...

Hi,I read Nona's new post earlier, but... where is it now? I can't see it anymore. It was a post with a link to a website where you could listen to IPA sounds (for British English).Well, I heard a lot of words pronounced with a clear consonant sound at the end. I thought of posting this:What are...

Hi again,I'm so sorry, I should have read CalifJim's post about T's a little more carefully before posting. I see that there's also a glottal stop after R's, so the t in "smart" or "cart" is held. I see that there's a glottal stop (but sometimes it's not complete) after L and N, for example in...

The glottal stop is common in NAE.Here are some examples: ?=glottal stopbutton and a few other exceptions). Instead, an alveolar flap is used. /d/ also is pronounced as a flap, so "writer" and "rider" are distinguished by the vowel sound only, and not the consonant, except in dialects that...

>> Hmmm. I don't know of a case where t becomes a glottal stop after a consonant. After a vowel, certainly, but not after a consonant. <<Yeah, you're right. I made a mistake. But would it be realized as or as ?

with the /t/ usually realized as in NAE. Hmmm. I don't know of a case where t becomes a glottal stop after a consonant. After a vowel, certainly, but not after a consonant. CJ

It's not really possible to pronounced a consonant cluster such as
