Emma
Hello again.

I love it by the river. I often come here.

Often. Did you notice the way I said often? Now listen to these people saying it:

 

People
He's often late for school.

I often eat in the canteen at lunch.

He's often late for class.

I often wear pink shoes.

 

Emma
So, there are two ways to pronounce the word often:

with the /t/ sound, like this often… often… often…

and without the /t/ sound, like this… often… often… often. 

Now, say it with Neil.

 

Neil
With the /t/ sound: often… often… often…

And now without the /t/ sound… often… often… often.

How do you know which one to use? Well, that’s your choice – they’re both correct. You can say whichever one feels most normal.

 

Emma
And that’s it. See you next time, bye.

 

To do

Watch the video again. There were four example sentences:

He's often late for school.

I often eat in the canteen at lunch.

He's often late for class.

I often wear pink shoes.

Can you hear if there is a /t/ sound or not in often?
