Glottalising t
Hello
When should I glottalise t's?
When they come before/after vowels or when they come at end of words?
Wouldn't it be funny if I have an arabic accent and yet glottalising t's?
Thank you

It would be weird!
Thank you
You should never glottalise t's.
Some English dialects use a glottal /t/ but there is no reason why you would want to copy them.
