Common Pronunciation Traps & Learner Mistakes
The Trap: The "g" combined with "n" in "gneiss" is unvoiced.
How Native Speakers Say It: Produce only the /n/ consonant sound. Pronouncing a hard /g/ is a telltale sign of non-native disfluency.
Connected Speech & Natural Conversational Flow
When "gneiss" is followed by a word starting with a vowel, glide the final consonant into the opening vowel (e.g. "gneiss is" sounds like "gneiss-iz").
In natural sentences, avoid over-stressing "gneiss" unless it conveys the core contrast or focal point of your message.
