Stop using the glottal stop!

Would you like to be a smooth speaker of English? This video is all about the pronunciation of the consonant “t”, which some people, including native speakers, tend to completely avoid nowadays, leading to a rather broken-up style of speaking. The technical name for this is the “glottal stop”. In this lesson, I’ll give you a few examples of what I mean, and I’ll demonstrate how to put the “t” back into your pronunciation and achieve a smoother way of speaking.
