I was waiting for this ..
The glottal stop is so difficult for me I'm practicing it but still not good specially the word "Sentence" I'm still struggling with this word 😮. But I'm getting better on other words.
I'm learning English and I want to improve my accent as well.
I really like this video. So relatable 👍.

Thank you Wes, for your courses. I am seeing your lessons from Paris for 3 weeks. I find them very useful 🙏🙏🙏

It's difficult to say voter without making it sound like water for me. Also, writer and rider sounds exactly the same, it got me confused for a second :) The glottal t, I can't pronounce it, especially when there are two t's as in the words like kitten, bitten, gotten. But I've no problem pronouncing words like center, twenty, interview etc.
Thank you for the video, it helped me practice my pronunciation. And the last bit was quite fun!
