Some people do pronounce a ‘t’ in “soften” and “often”, however, this is non-standard in British English. "Oft" is an old-fashioned word for "often". -----[2:11] History of the Word “Often” -----[2:16] Reign of Queen Elizabeth I The reign of Queen Elizabeth I (1558 - 1603) was when modern English emerged, and it is a recognisable English that we still speak today. -----[3:25] The First Dictionary Another influence on the pronunciation of the word “often” was the creation of the first English dictionary in 1755. Made entirely by one person - Samuel Johnson. -----[5:05] Present Day The reign of Queen Elizabeth II runs from 1952 to the present day. The Queen pronounces the word “often” as “orphan”. -----[7:02] Similar Errors In Pronunciation About 50% of people will pronounce "soften" and "often" with ’t’ and about 50% without. Whichever pronunciation you choose, it doesn't matter. It's entirely down to personal preference. In contrast, this video does include examples of words that should never be pronounced with a ‘t’ in them. -----[9:57] Recap Learning -----LESSON ROUNDUP Thank you for watching this English pronunciation lesson.
