Dark L, Fast D, Silent T: Why Is American English So Weird?

Download an mp3/podcast version of videos at www.fluentamerican.com/podcast
One of the biggest differences between how American English native speakers and language learners sound has to do with the vowels or consonants we use.
The reality: we often struggle to feel natural adding the elements we need to use in our pronunciation, especially when it comes to pronouncing vowels and consonants like native speakers. We're going to talk about phenomena like dark L, fast D, silent T, and other elements found in native speaker speech to understand why they occur
Welcome to Wake Up American, where Monday through Friday, we spend a couple minutes on a challenging aspect of American English pronunciation and walk through examples to help you achieve a more natural sound the next time you speak in American English at work, at home, or out and about town.

Hello, this is a very helpful live stream. I heard word dentist silent t I was thinking probably native speakers not using t but I never heard it before it is an informative video. L, R, and D are my preferred consonant sounds. Thanks coach as always for making helpful live stream.
