should the t pronouced as "T" or "D"?
english is my second language.
the dictionaries always tell me the answer is t, but i always hear it as d when i am watching television programs or films.
is it because i am not sensitive enough or is it really pronounced as d, or an intermediate between t and d?

its pronounced
st-own (pronounced with a "t")
the fact that the t is next to the o makes it seem like a d

The proper way in English to pronounce any word that has a T is to pronounce the T like a T. Although many don't always do that, it is the proper way. The only exception is when the T is followed by an H.
