Is my pronunciation of 'lightning' right?

Is my pronunciation of 'lightning' right?

No, it's terrible. The word "lightning" has only two syllables, not three.
Try to say it as "light" (one syllable) + "ning" (one syllable, rhymes with "ring").

[tzfujimino]

Yes, you are right. I dropped the t sound totally.
I stopped my air on sayig light..n

Did you listen to all the pronunciations on Forvo? You said you wanted to use it only for words you can't pronounce well. "Lightning" appears to be one of those words.

I am sorry that you felt so.It is because there are two n sounds.

No. The problem is that you introduce a schwa sound in the middle. This has nothing to do with "lightning" having two "n" sounds. As I said, break it up into two sound units: "light" and "ning", and after practising saying those separately, try saying them one after the other.

I have no idea what that means. I'm pretty sure some capital letters might help.

It means the famous video site youtube.

You mean YouTube. You should copy the capitalisation from their own logo.

What does "live people" mean?

[mohammedabo]

I meant I listen to people speaking not electronic machines as in some offline dictionaries.
