We're going to talk about that unreleased T, which is just so tricky.

We're words that are tighten, which means to make something more secure so less loose.

And Titan, which is a term used to describe something of great strength or size or importance.

We often hear this in Greek mythology in large moons in the solar system, like the Titan, which is one of Saturn's moons.

We also hear this when we are talking about entrepreneurs from the last century and they are Titans.

Okay, so to say these words, we are going to have two syllables.

So it's this schwa with the N. Un, un, un.

How does it sound different than saying tight?

Okay, you can say tight totally fine or tight tight fun totally fine.

But what I'm doing is I'm using an unreleased tea.

It's basically a tea where I just hold my tongue behind my teeth and I.

And I don't move it and I kind of stop the air.

You can see my tongue just hits right here.

Tighten, tighten, tighten, tighten, tighten, tighten, tighten, tighten, tighten.

He needed to tighten the bolts on his telescope in order to view the moon Titan.

I know people are going to notice the difference.

I'm curious, do you want to learn more about this unreleased tea or it doesn't really matter as much to you.
