Why is this word so fucking hard for me as an ESL to pronounce with a soft American "t"? I have no problem saying "letter" with a soft t. Soft t after r comes out a mess for me, I either have to pronounce a hard t or a hard d.

Practice saying it like the -dh or voiced -th sound
Good luck developing speech I’m your biggest cheerleader

because you're not pronouncing r correctly most likely.
me? i don't say r in that position at all.
Joseph Richardson
Are you pronouncing the R as you would an R in most other languages? If you don't have it as /ɹ/ it's difficult to pronounce because our "soft t" is actually an R-sound /ɾ/.

Yeah but I don't speak with a (fake) Australian accent, more of a (fake) American accent. I could drop the r in shorter but then it'd sound like a New York Italian American accent or something. I also don't pronounce "popular" without the "y" after "pop", which I think is a New York accent maybe.

user, you absolutely have to pronounce the y after pop in popular. I don't know of any accent which doesn't do that.
Mason Howard
I and many others in this country pronounce it this way
Robert Davis
As I said I do pronounce the y. Watch Actionkid on youtube. He's from New York and he doesn't pronounce the y in popular and similar words.
>popular
>regular
>populous
etc

You mean with a hard d as in herder, hoarder, harder? That's not the sound in letter.
Juan Long
If you can't pronounce "shorter" with a flapped t [ɾ], you can get away with pronouncing it as a normal [t]. Not all American dialects have the flapped t and even the ones that do will often pronounce as [t] when carefully enunciating the word. Don't stress over it.
Luke Bailey
t and d both become /ɾ/ in those positions, but most americans hear it as just another /d/
Justin Allen
What are you talking about? I speak the American r, and also the rolling r in Swedish, same as Scottish, and I don't see how there is one tap of a rolling r in those words.

You sound American, perfect. I wish I could speak Swedish the way you speak American. I hate you
John Adams
Well it's hit or miss, came out decent there but it doesn't always, with the word "shorter".

Actually the last year or two I've noticed I'm starting to have problems pronouncing Swedish, seems like I'm developing a speech impediment sometimes.
Austin Murphy
just realized I pronounce it as
pop-pew-ler

Yeah there's supposed to be a y, but a small percentage say it without the y.

When you make this r, are you moving your tongue? It doesn't need to move at all, so you can save it for making the t sound. Try making the r without moving your tongue at all, then flick it to the top when making the t.
Brayden Bell
Shorter rhymes with hoarder
Jason Taylor
