Se trata de que suene natural, no de omitirlos siempre.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00bfEl hecho de omitir la \/t\/ y la \/d\/ cambia el significado de las palabras?<\/h3>\n<p>En general, no. El contexto de la frase suele evitar cualquier confusi\u00f3n. Por ejemplo, <span data-no-translation>\"best friend\"<\/span> se seguir\u00e1 entendiendo aunque el <span data-no-translation>\/t\/<\/span> en <span data-no-translation>best<\/span> no se pronuncia del todo. Los sonidos y las palabras que lo rodean aportan informaci\u00f3n suficiente.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00bfC\u00f3mo puedo practicar para distinguir estos sonidos que no oigo?<\/h3>\n<p>Escucha materiales en ingl\u00e9s aut\u00e9ntico, como podcasts, pel\u00edculas y series de televisi\u00f3n. Presta mucha atenci\u00f3n a c\u00f3mo los hablantes nativos unen las palabras y simplifican los grupos de consonantes.
