Hi Everybody,
Many English words with 'ct' at the end, in the phonetics symbol it writes as [FONT="][FONT="]kt[/FONT][/FONT], I was wondering if we REALLY need to pronounce the [FONT="][FONT="]k [/FONT][/FONT]sound in daily life, cos when I watch native speakers speak the following words, they seem just to pronounce as contact [FONT="][FONT="]ˈkɒn tæt,[/FONT][/FONT]perfect [FONT="][FONT="]pə ˈfet[/FONT][/FONT],object [FONT="][FONT="]ˈɒb dʒet[/FONT][/FONT] without [FONT="][FONT="]k [/FONT][/FONT]sound but in dictionaries which indicate us to pronounce contact [FONT="][FONT="]ˈkɒn tækt[/FONT][/FONT], perfect [FONT="][FONT="]pə ˈfekt[/FONT][/FONT],object [FONT="][FONT="]ˈɒb dʒekt[/FONT][/FONT] with [FONT="][FONT="]k [/FONT][/FONT]sound, please advise. Thanks
