T can be pronounced in different ways in American English depending on its context. T sounds like a D between two vowels, like in "city" and "little". T is silent after N, so words like "mountain" and "kitten" don't start with a hard T sound. And placing T before N results in a glottal stop, or brief pause, such as in "internet" and "twenty".
