Question on how to pronounce "lost-the"
Sorry to bother again but I got a really big problem with English pronounciation.
This time, it's the word ending with letter t and the, similar in the case of "both things".
How do you pronounce "lost-the"? can I skip pronouncing t in lost and go ahead with the?
Making the flap T or D sounds is somewhat a challenge for me.
Now I can better pronounce words like turtle, myrtle, beatles thanks to you teachers.
But, still, words like comforterble, fort lee, important give me a huge headache.
I guess the that I just cant pronounce the flab t and d distinctively.
honestly pronouncing the flap T and D is like pronouncing L with a littel touch at the ridge to me.
For example, for-le-lee, im-por-learnt?
how can I master the flab T and D by pronouncing the true sounds of them?

Hi Pousu Lost + the When I say I lost the keys I do not distinctively pronounce the last "t" on "lost" - it blends with the initial "th" on "the" When I say I lost my keys I do pronounce the last "t" on "lost". The pronunciation of "important" is quite variable in the sound of the interior "t". word=comfortable&submit=Submit Fort Lee is a proper noun - I would pronounce it like Forty, with an "l" instead of a "t," and a little more stress on the "Lee" than on the "ty".
