Speak English like a North American: 4 Pronunciation Rules for the Letter T

Thank you Ronnie ma’am for this wonderful lesson.
Question no-6 was a bit tricky but I got it and this kind of questions are seeking our more interest towards the lesson….
In IELTS listening sections sometimes speakers sound got mixed or may be due to their fast speaking habit, we assume a different accent and miss the original words…..ma’am if it’s possible then please do give us some tips or may be a lesson on that…..!!
Thank you ma’am
Thank you team engVid

Thank you very much Ronnie for the interesting lesson. You are an awesome teacher.
All these words are pronounced in American style? Because in British English, can say “fəˈɡɒtn” (forgotten), ɪntəˈnæʃnəl (international) prɪntər,etc?

Thanks so much a great lesson. Well, just a comment, I was told, that T sound was (r) eg: ability= abiliry, universiry. So, now I am some kind confused. but I learned something new. anyway was a good lesson. Gees! too much learning in a language. The reason why I am in this website because, it is because I want strength up my writing skills. Thanks Ronnie I got 8 of 10.

Thanks Ronnie.
Now everything make sense. When my Irish teacher told me about American pronunciation and the word Internet I thought it was a silly joke. Now that I know the rule about how to pronunce T after N everything is clear.

Thank you so much Ronnie.

Bah

Very useful, easy to learn them. But I’m still confusing with some words which in one of 4 cases you point out that.
1. – forgotten : tt’re sanwiched between o & e . Why they not become dd. Also same for written. I know here you said they are in group 3 (“in” – silent t and take out vowel sound)
2. The word education : t between a and i. But we never hear it’s pronounced without t or t become D. In this case just sound like “shin” for tion.
3. When we know we should make silent t and when is not? I found some words have silent t which is completely out of your 4 rules. (Christmas, hasten, fasten, whistle, moisten, listen.. all these with silent t) are they irregular words that we have to learn by heart or is there rule for it?

Please response my questions. I appreciate for your time. Always find interesting and fun in all of your videos. Thank you so much Ronnie.
You have a good one! Stay safe!
