American English Pronunciation (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1FDjhKY8HwM)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div><\/p>\n<p><h2>Video Transcript:<\/h2><\/p>\n<div id=\"stcpDiv\" style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\n<p>In this American English pronunciation video, we&#8217;re going to take a look at the question:\u00a0 is the Flap T really a D sound?It&#8217;s not unusual for people to ask my why I say the flap T is a D sound.\u00a0 They will say it&#8217;s not the same as a D sound in, for example, day.\u00a0 My answer to them:\u00a0 you&#8217;re right.\u00a0 But, the Flap T, or T between vowels, is the same as the D between vowels.\u00a0 So basically what I&#8217;m saying, is that a D between vowels is not the same sound as the D in other cases, though they both use the same IPA symbol.\u00a0 Let&#8217;s take a look at an example word:\u00a0 dad.<\/p>\n<p>For that beginning D, there is a stop: dd, dd.\u00a0 D is a stop consonant, so I let air build up a little bit in my throat &#8212; dd, dd, dd &#8212; and then release it.\u00a0 It&#8217;s the same with a D at the end of the word, though a little more subtle.\u00a0 Dd, dd, Dad-d-d-d, but you can still hear, dad-d-d, there is a stop.\u00a0 Well, let&#8217;s take a slightly different word, Daddy.\u00a0 Now we have a D sound between two vowels. Daddy, Daddy.\u00a0 I&#8217;m going to stretch out the vowel sound before and after to make that D more noticeable.\u00a0 Daaaaaadyyyy.\u00a0 Did you hear a stop?\u00a0 There wasn&#8217;t one.\u00a0 Daaaaaadyyyy.\u00a0 Between vowels, or after an R and before a vowel, it&#8217;s a different sound, because there isn&#8217;t a stop.\u00a0 If I pronounced both D&#8217;s with a stop it would sound like this:\u00a0 dad-dy.\u00a0 But it doesn&#8217;t.\u00a0 It sounds like daddy, uhh, no stop in the airflow.\u00a0 This is true of the Flap T as well.<\/p>\n<p>As I said before, if you look up the word &#8216;daddy&#8217; in a dictionary, both of the D sounds, though different, will have the same symbol.<\/p>\n<p>This is why I have chosen to say the that Flap T is just like the D sound &#8212; it is like one kind of D sound, the D between vowels.\u00a0 So, matter = madder.\u00a0 Pronounced the same way.\u00a0 When we pronounce a T or D this way, it smooths out speech.\u00a0 It takes out a stop, which is why you&#8217;ll hear so many Americans flap their T&#8217;s.\u00a0 We love to smooth out the line.<\/p>\n<p>So, this was a long explanation about why I use the [d] symbol for a Flap T.\u00a0 The most important thing to take from this video, though, is that both T and D between vowels, or after an R and before a vowel, don&#8217;t have a stop component.\u00a0 They do not interrupt the flow of the line, they smooth out the speech.<\/p>\n<p>One last comment.\u00a0 Sometimes, regarding the Flap T, I&#8217;ll get a comment from a student:\u00a0 that sounds like an R sound to me.\u00a0 It is an R sound?\u00a0 Well, depending on your native language, yes, it is.\u00a0 The al-VEE-uh-ler\u00a0 flap is in many languages, usually represented by the letter R.\u00a0 For example, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, Turkish, to name a few.\u00a0 So you may ask, why don&#8217;t I use that IPA symbol?\u00a0 Two reasons:\u00a0 you won&#8217;t see that symbol in dictionary of American English.\u00a0 And, I&#8217;m not fluent enough in any of those languages, to say:\u00a0 yes, definitely, I know it is absolutely the exact same movement of the tongue, touching exactly the same spot at the roof of the mouth. So whether it is exactly the same sound or just very close, it may be very useful for you to think of the Flap T or D between vowels as the R sound from your native language.\u00a0 But, just keep in mind that it is not at all related to the\u00a0 R sound in American English.\u00a0 RRRR, where you can hold out that sound, and the front part of the tongue must not touch the roof of the mouth.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it, and thanks so much for using Rachel&#8217;s English.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a name=\"video\"><\/a><strong>Video:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('video');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-173745-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/07f1c47b71c75472a3cc-b7eea9689205a6672fd1aa00be922d89.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com\/243%20-%20Flap%20T-%20Really%20a%20D%20Sound%3F%20American%20English%20Pronunciation.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/07f1c47b71c75472a3cc-b7eea9689205a6672fd1aa00be922d89.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com\/243%20-%20Flap%20T-%20Really%20a%20D%20Sound%3F%20American%20English%20Pronunciation.mp4\">https:\/\/07f1c47b71c75472a3cc-b7eea9689205a6672fd1aa00be922d89.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com\/243%20-%20Flap%20T-%20Really%20a%20D%20Sound%3F%20American%20English%20Pronunciation.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I use the symbol for the D [d] in my videos for the Flap T.
