The video tutorial covers the use of the flap T in American English to link words smoothly. It introduces two pronunciation rules: the flap T rule, where a T between vowels or after an R and before a vowel is pronounced like a D, and the linking rule, where a consonant at the end of a word links to a vowel at the start of the next word. Examples like 'water', 'part of', and 'sort of' are used to illustrate these concepts. The tutorial encourages practice to improve speech fluidity and offers additional resources for further learning.
