Ask questions or just talk about different languages. Since BrainKing is an international game site supporting many languages, this board can be kind of useful.

Since we will be dealing with pronunciation of words rather than their spelling, I think it's useful to have a link to The sounds of English and the International Phonetic Alphabet.

رضا: Yes, I have...When I, for example, say 'better', the T is much closer to 'd' than to 't'. I think the way most Americans pronounce it is found somewhere between a clear dictionary 't' and a glottal stop. I know it's a relatively big span but I can't describe it better. As far as the rule is concerned, I don't think there is one. In my opinion, it varies from region to region and if you found a rule like this in some of the dialects, I bet it would not apply for the other ones.
