The Trap: Single-syllable words like "khoan" carry primary acoustic prominence in isolation, but can be swallowed in rapid connected speech.

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

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