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. | |
