About this episode
Some consonants in the American accent combine together to make a sound that flows, rather than pronouncing each letter individually. Today, we consider the combination of the letters T and R, and what you can do to pronounce it the American sounding way.
Practice with these sentences:
Local transit
Interest payments

A tractor trailer is a transport truck.
Practice these idioms in your daily life!
