Never heard the term glottal 't' before. Up here in Canada it's regular 't' sound in the word examples.
In 2011 i had nerve reassignment surgery where the nerve from the right side of my tongue was moved to perhaps undertake new duties. Made a big mess of trying to manipulate, and chew food, eat was a struggle and threw speech into a disarray. The regular 't' sound where the glottal 't' is found in the video's word list took months to get a bit of a handle on, could not get my tongue to the roof of my mouth and back to produce that 't'. Cool seeing the animation of the tongue just as i had visualized what i had to get my tongue to do. Sounds like for quite a few months i was sounding American, could only get that glottal 't' to sound.
Still need to speak at an easy pace, quietly, relaxed and flat or my speech becomes a spitty garbled mess, that 't' will be a major issue.
Thanks for the video Rob!
