By Glottals, Consonants

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...

>> 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
