How Do You Pronounce "Often"
My English teachers taught us it's pronounced as "ofen" but I learned it's actually "ofTen" so now I always pronounce "often" with the T sound.

Either is correct. I personally leave out the T.

There is no correct pronunciation of often. I usually say off-en but occasionally I might say off-ten depending on the context.

The correct way: Often. It's not a silent T, people.
