Traditional pronunciation vs. Glottal Stop 🇺🇸 In some American English accents, especially in casual and modern speech, the /t/ sound is replaced by a glottal stop (shut your vocal cords and release air through your nose to produce the next N sound). MOUNTAIN /maun’n/ CURTAIN /kur’n/ FOUNTAIN /faun’n/ You’ll hear the difference between the clear T and the glottal stop, both are correct, it’s all about context, accent, and natural flow.
