Common Pronunciation Traps & Learner Mistakes
The Trap: Pronouncing a hard, aspirated [tʰ] in casual conversation can sound overly formal in North America.

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