30. A Native Trick: CH Instead of T
Update: 2025-06-04
Description
WHY DO NATIVE SPEAKERS SAY “CHEWSDAY”?
If you’ve ever heard Tuesday pronounced like “Chewsday,” you’ve bumped into one of English’s most common (and least taught) pronunciation patterns: the TR → CH shift. American, British, and Australian speakers all do it to varying degrees, yet dictionaries rarely mention it. In this episode, I break down why this happens, where it happens, and how you can use it to sound more natural.
Для русскоязычных учеников: звук TR часто превращается в «ч», поэтому становится не “tree”, а “chree”. Это не ошибка — это норма живой разговорной речи.
