Language / Pronunciation question - glottal stops [6]
Interesting, thanks. I think that confirms what I thought about word final /t/ before a vowel (it is always pronounced as [t])
And even when a Polish word ends in /t/ and the next one starts with a consonant, the first /t/ will still be released? What about if the next word starts with another /t/ or /d/, does it then just sound like a kind of long /t/, or is there a release in between?
Much appreciated

Language / Pronunciation question - glottal stops [6]
Can Polish 't' ever become a glottal stop at the end of a word like in English, or is it always released?
So in 'that idea' in English, the 't' becomes a glottal stop for a lot of English speakers. Can the same happen in Polish when word final 't' is followed by a vowel?
What about before a consonant? In English, most people would use a glottal stop for 't' in 'that cat'. But I've heard Polish people use the full released 't' in this context. Does this mean that 't' is always released in Polish, even before a consonant?
Hope this makes sense! Would really appreciate any advice.
