Hi James,
Great lessons man. I am new in USA and i am sure these are going to help me alot to improve my English language and also it correct pronounciation. I have a question for you. You have mentioned that sometimes “ed” is pronounced as “t”, now here is my question, How can we know that which word ending with “ed” will pronounce as “t”?.

Hi James! This is a great lesson and all the series as well. I don’t understand why so little commentaries. In this series you spoke slowly and very clear for me. I will listen this videos many times again. Thank you!

Hi Jimes and thanks for your lessons!
I’d like to ask you a question about the ‘t’ sound for the past tense of verbs.
How could I know whether I have to pronounce it like a ‘t’ or like a ‘d’ sound? Is there any rule?

hello friend you know your lessons are appreciated here in Morocco. As far as the “t” pronounciation i can add the following:
ss,sh,ch,ck, k,p +ed = T
I THINK THIS ADDITION MAY HELP TO PRONOUNCE THE ED A T FOR SOME READERS .
