Reading for ‘t’ pronounced as ‘d’
from Canadian Pronunciation Hosted by Tracey Jalovec
The ‘t’ sound is often in unstressed positions. When the letter’t’ (or two t’s) is between two vowel sounds, or an ‘r’ and a vowel sound, it is pronounced like a quick ‘d’ sound. The ‘t’s that should be pronounced this way are blue in the reading.

Robby Kukurs from Accent Adventure reveals how any non-native English speaker can learn to speak with American and also British English pronunciation by following a few simple rules and doing plenty of spoken English practicing!
