Common Pronunciation Traps & Learner Mistakes
The Trap: Avoid pronouncing every vowel with full acoustic weight. Non-native speakers often over-enunciate unstressed vowels.

Connected Speech & Natural Conversational Flow
When "despot" is followed by a word starting with a vowel, glide the final consonant into the opening vowel (e.g. "despot is" sounds like "despot-iz").
In natural sentences, avoid over-stressing "despot" unless it conveys the core contrast or focal point of your message.
