    The document discusses two types of the letter T sound in English - the true T and the glottal T. The glottal T is made by stopping airflow in the throat. It is commonly used in British English. The glottal T helps speech to be more efficient and requires less effort. It is used at the end of words, in the middle of words, but not at the beginning or after unvoiced consonants. Whether to use the glottal T can depend on context like location and formality. Aspiration, similar to the sound of H, is found for P, T, and K at the beginning of words or stressed syllables in English. Forgetting aspiration can cause confusion

    English Phonology
    Glottalization
    There are two T sounds
    True T and Glottal T
    Glottal T is made when the flow off air is
    stopped in throat.
    And glottal T is really important in
    British English language or British English
    accent.

    The use of glottal T can depend completly on
    where you are, who you’re with, how you’re
    feeling, we can use glottal T when we are with
    friends, but in formal situation I suggest you to
    use true T.

    Aspiration
    In English aspiration is found at only three
    sounds, P, T, and K when these sounds occur at
    the beginning of the word or the begining of a
    stressed syllable.

    Aspiration is very like the English sound H
    which is why in the international phonetic
    alphabet aspiration is indicated with a small
    letter H.
    forgetting to use aspiration in pronunciation of
    the English initial stops /p,t, k/ can cause
    confusion in certain contexts.

    The situation without aspiration
    • First, if /p, t, k/ occuring in the onset of an
    initial syllable of a word is preceded by /s/
    (spin, stuck, skies).
    • Second, if the initial syllable is unstressed
    (polite).
    • Third, at the end of a word (lip, bit, stick).
