How do you say stop in a British accent?
In the accent model we teach at British Accent Academy – Standard Southern British – we don’t normally say [‘brɪʔɪʃ] with a glottal stop. We normally say [‘brɪtʰɪʃ]. We only use the glottal stop to replace [t] when the <t> comes before a consonant.
Is the T silent?
The t is silent. Why? Often has a medial /t/ that, like similar words such has “hasten” and “soften,” was once pronounced and is now typically silent. Unlike the similar words, pronouncing the “t” in “often” has returned in some modern usage.
