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

🔗 Consonant-Vowel Linking (Liaison)

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

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