Fate of ‘t’
Accent
is regional. Having taught English all my life to my rustic students, I do my
best to imitate the native speakers by not articulating the final ‘r’ and some
peculiar vowels that pose difficulty to us. But now in America, I face a different
problem. Nobody likes to enunciate the medial ‘t’. People love to glide over
their ‘t’s and so I composed a short text to give practice to my students who
like to talk like Americans. Here is it. Be careful not to give any force to
the frequent ‘t’s.
The water that the waiter pretended to
handover to the tutor that afternoon, in reality, is some nutritious stuff with
some butter floating on it to retain his executive mentality thirty times more.
