Major Patterns for the Consonant T Sound

*st* *tr* *ts* *t*
star tree its tap enter at
(soft t/silent t)
T sounds like D TR sounds like CH T and S together create a new sound. Some people call it the ts sound.   If the t is between two vowels, then it sometimes sounds more like d as city or water if you say it fast, especially in phrases.
(This really is an American accent tip.)
Even though the t sounds silent, you still have to try to say it without producing the sound. If you don't try to say the t sound, eight will sound like the letter A.
