But it takes a lot of practice to pronounce this flapping T correctly. This audio exercise will give you some practice using 5 common English phrases. The phrases are also written so you can read and repeat them. In the exercise, I will repeat each phrase 3 times with the flapping T. Your job is to repeat after me and try to copy my pronunciation. do not worry if you do not understand some of the phrases.
