You absolutely completely got it right! A perfect pronunciation definitely involves the articulation omission of “t”, the tongue should just gently touch the upper gum and then swiftly shift up for the next syllable.


The subtle point I mentioned in “step one” is about the central vowel [i]. I don’t see (hear) anything wrong in your reading if they are initials, like it, is, if, in etc.  But you tend to mispronounce those behind a consonant as the front vowel [i:] (for example “little by little”).  Let’s try some word pairs: beat-bit, heat-hit, sleeper-slipper, leak-lick, not only lies the distinction in the length of phonation, but also in the positioning of the tongue. Maybe it is not easy for a non-English to grasp the nuance, but it’s worth making the effort because of [i]’s frequent appearances, when you get the hang of it, a small change will make a big difference.


Thanks for sharing the 3 steps of creative process and I like what you said about personal feelings:  always thinking of good rather than dwelling on bad. Though I am not a Christian, I believe in a saying: let go, let God. Whatever you’d like to call the intelligent power which brought us to this world, just stay in tune with its vibration, happiness will come along with love, gratitude and contentment.


Looking forward to more readings of enlightenment, improvement will be applauded and appreciated. Those, who appreciate, gain in value.
