Common Pronunciation Traps & Learner Mistakes
The Trap: Single-syllable words like "aike" carry primary acoustic prominence in isolation, but can be swallowed in rapid connected speech.
How Native Speakers Say It: Sustain vowel clarity without rushing into the trailing consonant. Elevate pitch slightly when "aike" carries the primary contrast or new information in a sentence.
