Common Pronunciation Traps & Learner Mistakes
The Trap: Single-syllable words like "eard" carry primary acoustic prominence in isolation, but can be swallowed in rapid connected speech.

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