If any of my content is sponsored, I will place a notification in the video and description. I teach using just one of many accents in the world. Please only learn it if you like it and if you are interested in learning it. I do not believe there is one “correct” accent or manner of pronunciation and I fully encourage EFL/ESL learners to expose themselves to as many varieties of English around the world to become accustomed to the beautiful variations of this world language. I focus mostly on teaching “Modern RP” (I may just say “RP” in my older videos, but to clarify, I do specifically mean “Modern RP”), however, you will hear a lovely little Yorkshire twang to my accent from time to time too. Please LOVE and BE PROUD of your accent. After all, it is part of your identity and makes you unique. 💚

@mrwarr3 years ago When I learned “often” in elementary school and I was told the “t” is silent, I started pronouncing the “t” in protest. All constants matter. Leave no constant behind. 15

@jasonmateus9243 years ago I do voiceovers and I was once told to pronounce it 'offen'. I was kind of offended since I always knew ofTen was ok. Thanks for confirming! BTW english is not my first language but I speak it fluently and with/without a particular accent depending on what my clients need. However, I am happy to know I wasn't wrong for pronouncing the T. Haha! ...
@

@

@kevinkall85473 years ago I am on TEAM OFTEN because I use the 't' just to irritate others. I also say 'irrespective'. is there a video on that?
@

@canadianbutkorean66512 years ago I, as a Canadian pronounce it with a t too💗 3
@

@PeterPanQuails3 years ago Dropping the "t" is easier and quicker to pronounce. I'm lazy and would be happy to go without it. 4
@

@vaibhavanandsharma9004 years ago Came here to see if I was pronouncing it right, ended up thinking how cute she is... Cuddos from India! 11
@

@eugenialitovchenko85776 years ago In Russian schools our teachers say it's a rude mistake to say "ofTen" and I was so confused and surprised when I've heard how native spears say it with "t")) 1

@ahmedpaix74184 years ago Hello dear Emma,i think that in British English we pronounce it with "t" ,but in American English we pronounce it without "t".What about you ? what do you think ? 2
@

@

@lovetheworld11114 years ago I used to pronounce this word without t, but recently I've heard more and more people pronounce it with t. So I pronounce it with t now...... 4
@

@arpitsrivstva4 years ago Can i pronounce it as - "OIFENN"? 2
@

@FoireaMusique2 years ago Well, any another word with "ften" has a silent t, so why some people say often with t... 1
@

@johnhunter73864 years ago Saying off- tin takes way too much effort. That's why I say off- in. I'm sorta lazy that way. 2
@

@carlabeatriz95726 years ago Do you got it, sorry my mistakes.....🎅

@222radar2 years ago Emma, how do you pronounce, "Soften"? 2
@

@eugenialitovchenko85776 years ago Now it's okay for me, I got used to people say it differently, but I can't say it with "t" anyway😄
@

@AdrianVD242 years ago they are both correct according to what/who? there isn't a single argument nor source in this video. 1
@

@alamgirhusen21912 years ago How are you madam from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩.
@

@janphillips82888 months ago This is fine, but the history and reasoning behind ‘often’ pronunciation gives a validity to pronouncing it with a silent T. Compare with other words like soften, hasten, listen etc. 1
@

@Flash_57902 years ago I wonder if the British now say Z or not?🤣
@

@MrCrayEgg4 weeks ago Why wouldnt you pronounce the T though? 😂
@

@prajakta76933 years ago Why isn'it like that in the dictionary then?
@

@goldilox12692 years ago Please don’t be offended, but
pronouncing the “t” is incorrect. Although many folks do it, it is nonstandard.
Think of the words “listen” and “soften.” 4
