472. Pronunciation practice in a song: Traitor by Olivia Rodrigo

About this episode

Have you ever used music to boost your English pronunciation? 🎶
In this week's video, I'm introducing you to Olivia Rodrigo's song Traitor to practice the different T sounds in American English… especially the Flap T!

I'll break down lines from the song, show you how to pronounce them, and I'm certain you won't be able to resist singing along with me 😉

Here are the lyrics of the part we did together:

Brown guilty eyes and little white lies
Yeah, I played dumb but I always knew
That you'd talk to her, maybe did even worse
I kept quiet so I could keep you
And ain't it funny
How you ran to her
The second that we called it quits?
And ain't it funny
How you said you were friends?
Now it sure as hell don't look like it
You betrayed me
And I know that you'll never feel sorry
For the way I hurt, yeah
You'd talk to her
When we were together
Loved you at your worst
But that didn't matter
It took you two weeks
To go off and date her
Guess you didn't cheat
But you're still a traitor
