How Native Speakers Say It: Only give full vowel clarity to the primary stressed syllable. Relax all unstressed vowels into a neutral, low-energy schwa (⁄ə⁄).

When "cốt" is followed by a word starting with a vowel, glide the final consonant into the opening vowel (e.g. "cốt is" sounds like "cốt-iz").
