To finish off the /t/ sound,
let's look at the rules of saying a /d/ sound instead of the /t/ sound
in American English.
Actually, the /t/ will change into what's called a flap /t/,
and not exactly a /d/,
but for our purposes here, it is perfectly fine to say that the /t/ changes to a /d/.
The first general rule is that
the /t/ only changes to /d/ in American English and sometimes in Australian English
and people speaking with a British accent usually don't flap their /t/ sounds.
The second general rule is that
we do NOT change the /t/ to a /d/ when the /t/ is at the beginning of a stressed syllable in a word.
OK, after the general rules, now let's see the specific rules.
To make this lesson easier,
I have made some simplification to the rules,
because I would like to focus on the most common cases.
Rule #1: The /t/ changes to a /d/ if it is between two vowels, such as in:
But the /t/ does NOT change in "hotel" or "guitar",
because here the /t/ is at the beginning of a stressed syllable,
so it must be pronounced strong, as we discussed it earlier.
Rule #2: The /t/ changes to a /d/ if it is between an /R/ sound and a vowel, such as in:
But the /t/ does NOT change in "thirteen" or "fourteen",
because here the /t/ is at the beginning of a stressed syllable,
so it must be pronounced strong, as we discussed it earlier.
Rule #3: The /t/ changes to a /d/ if it is between a vowel and a /L/ sound
(usually at the end of words), such as in:

and practice saying the /t/ as a /d/ sound in these words.
