Common Pronunciation Traps & Learner Mistakes

⚠️ Intervocalic Tap / Flap [ɾ] in American English

The Trap: Pronouncing a hard, aspirated [tʰ] in casual conversation can sound overly formal in North America.

How Native Speakers Say It: In American English, a single "t" between vowels quickly taps against the alveolar ridge like a soft "d" ([ɾ]). In British English, maintain a crisp aspirated [tʰ].

Connected Speech & Natural Conversational Flow

🔗 Consonant-Vowel Linking (Liaison)

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

⏱️ Stress-Timed Rhythm

In natural sentences, avoid over-stressing "cital" unless it conveys the core contrast or focal point of your message.
