Notes for Dans O and H

DAN O:
These are a few things that i noticed today that I haven't noticed before because they're a little tricky. I noticed you were doing the Cockney 'T's at the ends of words. As in the 'T's were becoming silent. For example, you were saying "Pock-i" instead of "Pocket". So articulate more on 'T' words. Here are a few words and phrases you said:

-"Pocket"
-"That" (not "Tha")
-"Get you" (not "gichu")
-"Put it" (not "pudit")
-and "about that afterwards" (that one is tricky)
Thank you and keep up the good work.

DAN H:
You are doing much better with the new voice, but keep practicing. Something me and Julia talked about was how you should say ING words. In Irish it should be 'N (Morn'N), but to differentiate between Welsh and Irish you should pronounce the -ing in ING words (Morning). Julia and I also talked about you're vowels. You're vowels are starting to sound Irish. Welsh vowels are just like American vowels and if not that closer to British vowels than Irish. Finally watch the words without 'Z's that make 'Z' sounds (like "was"). Here are some words you missed.

'Z' sounds:
-"busy"
-"doesn't"
-"theirs"
-"is"
- and 'these'

Tapped 'R's missed:
-"Terrific" (like "Telific")
-"Interest" (like "intl'est")
-"Cross" (like "Cl'oss")
-and "Brochures" (like "Bl'ochures")
Thank you for the work you've put, you're doing great just keep practicing.
