The rule: when T comes before an N ending, we often stop the T (the tongue touches the ridge behind the teeth but does not complete the sound) and then create a strong N. You can also think of it as replacing the T with a glottal stop–stop the air in your mouth–and then emphasizing N. This can be hard to master! Check out the video here.
