Common Pronunciation Traps & Learner Mistakes
The Trap: Pronouncing a hard, aspirated [tʰ] in casual conversation can sound overly formal in North America.

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