Common Pronunciation Traps & Learner Mistakes
The Trap: The "g" combined with "n" in "gnss" is unvoiced.
How Native Speakers Say It: Produce only the /n/ consonant sound. Pronouncing a hard /g/ is a telltale sign of non-native disfluency.

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