The Trap: Avoid pronouncing every vowel with full acoustic weight. Non-native speakers often over-enunciate unstressed vowels.

How Native Speakers Say It: Only give full vowel clarity to the primary stressed syllable. Relax all unstressed vowels into a neutral, low-energy schwa (⁄ə⁄).

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