E.g: "See,Doesn't everyone feel better now".

Why did i heard the word "doesn't" as the one "does".And it happens all the time.No matter how hard Im try to listen,it does seem to change.
Please help me out it.

Question

Answer

I'm afraid that there is no easy answer.  I have the exact same problem listening for the difference between the Chinese jiang (讲) and zhang (张).   The solution only comes with experience and time.

Answer

not an answer, but often English speakers fail to add the hard 't' sound at the end of the word. Because of this, it's important to listen for the 'n' sound, rather than 't'. Since a word like 'Does' wouldn't have an n sound unless going to a negative form, or being followed by a negative word, it would probably be must easier to simply listen for the 'n' sound. This same can be said for words like at and art. The 't' is often cropped about half-way through, right before the tongue would leave the roof of your mouth.
