Mental.<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent13\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Mental is the one word out of the ones you listed<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent14\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">where I would actually say a tt sound for the T. Mental. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent15\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">He is mental. So, tt, to make that, your tongue, tt,<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent16\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">has to pull away from your teeth and let air out. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent17\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">It then goes into the dark L because this L is ending a syllable. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent18\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Ment- al. So, the jaw has to drop and the tongue <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent19\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">has to bunch up a little to make that vowel-like sound <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent20\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">before the tongue moves to make the L. Mental. Mental.<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent21\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">So the tongue pulls away, fattens up a little bit, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent22\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">and then finishes up by curling to make the L. Mental. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent23\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Now, as I&#8217;ve said in previous blog entries about the dark L, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent24\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">the tongue does not always necessarily move up into that position to finish off the L. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent25\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Mental, mental. You will definitely hear native speakers pronounce it that way. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent26\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Mental. So in that case, the tongue simply pulls back from the teeth <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent27\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">to fatten up to make that vowel-like sound, mental, and leave it at that. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span id=\"STtranscriptContent28\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">The word title. In this case, the second T is pronounced as a D, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent29\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">-tle, -tle, which means the vocal cords <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent30\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">need to keep producing sound through that movement. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent31\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">In this word more so than in the word mental, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent32\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">the movement of the tongue feels very sharp to me. Title. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent33\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">For the D it&#8217;s in position here. -tle. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent34\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">And it pulls back very quickly to make that ul sound for the dark L,<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent35\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">before the tip of the tongue moves back in.<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent36\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">So the tip of the tongue is pressing there for the D, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent37\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">it comes away to make that vowel-like sound, <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent38\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">and it moves back up to make the final part of the dark L sound.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span id=\"STtranscriptContent39\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Title is the same as the rest of the words you listed:<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent40\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">brittle, capital, bottle, where it is a D sound going into a dark L sound. <\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent41\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">And this is also true of the word Seattle.<\/span><\/p>\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-988-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/07f1c47b71c75472a3cc-b7eea9689205a6672fd1aa00be922d89.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com\/35%20-%20How%20to%20Pronounce%20T%20%2B%20Dark%20L%20American%20English.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/07f1c47b71c75472a3cc-b7eea9689205a6672fd1aa00be922d89.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com\/35%20-%20How%20to%20Pronounce%20T%20%2B%20Dark%20L%20American%20English.mp4\">https:\/\/07f1c47b71c75472a3cc-b7eea9689205a6672fd1aa00be922d89.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com\/35%20-%20How%20to%20Pronounce%20T%20%2B%20Dark%20L%20American%20English.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The T and Dark L combination is common, appearing in words like \u2018little\u2019. \u00a0What should you do with your tongue to make these sounds next to each other? \u00a0Learn in this video.
