I have a question, I'm not speaker English and well I am here a a song called: Josh A - Heartbreaks
And well, the singer, when he says ''couldn't'', did I hear him say it in another way, not as like ''KUUD - UHT'' but as ''KLUH - DUHNT''?
Could someone clear me up if he mispronounced the word or is there a second way to pronounce that word?
