Speech & Pronunciation

Pronunciation of international, internet etc.

Who of you guys don't enunciate the t sound? On an accent reduction course, they said that americans don't enunciate the t sound when it precede with an n. Because of this, I closely paid attention to english native speaker, and it has come to my attention that most, if not all, english native speaker, including american native speakers, do pronounce the t sounds.

Anonymousthey said that Americans don't enunciate the t sound when it precede with an n. when it is preceded by an n.
A few corrections.

1. It's only some Americans.
2. It's only when the nt forms a transition from a strong to a weak syllable.

The t may go missing
