Hi everyone, I've learned that the letter T in "unfortunately" has a CH sound. Can anyone tell me how I know which words with letter T should be pronounced CH or why does the T have a CH sounds? Is there a rule or a list? I can't find anything but could it be because the T is followed by U. Like in unfortunately, feature, future and picture?
I've managed to find out that it's because in these words the T is followed by U but there are exceptions like autumn, cactus, disturb, foetus, lettuce, momentum, and others. How can I know which pronunciation is right when I see a new word?
Thanks!
