Yeah, as I said my awareness is just "people make fun of my accent some times" (and I make fun right back, it's that kind of a friend group).

Different accents, then.

Well, the only way to check beyond me muttering at myself would be to have a recording of me talking casually about hot potatoes :D

And yeah, I definitely pronounce "could you" as "couja" when relaxed. Hanging out with people from different countries makes you pretty conscious about your accent some times. Mostly when half the voice chat can't understand what you just said and the other half can't understand why they're having an issue.

My tongue definitely touches the teeth/roof of mouth there. I do swallow the vowels though.

Yeah. If I try going faster, it turns into "ht'ptayto". Like a hard stop with tongue against the roof of the mouth before the teeth.

Although admittedly, this is self-reporting.

And in my case, it'd be more like /gna/. And yes I do pronounce the "t" in hot potato.
