The glottal /t/ is special for the American accent. I loved seeing your joy last class when you understood how to pronounce “ kitten”, “ treatment”, and “ fitness”.

We practiced the true, rotic /r/. You understood the echo quality in the front as well as the tension in the back. Make sure to keep the sound a little long when it is before a vowel "pray" or at the beginning of a word "respect". Looking forward to work on the vowel+/r/ combos.

ZH vs. J sounds- depends on the tongue movement and the duration.
