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

How Native Speakers Say It: Sustain vowel clarity without rushing into the trailing consonant. Elevate pitch slightly when "også" carries the primary contrast or new information in a sentence.

🔗 Consonant-Vowel Linking (Liaison)

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