•When a word ending in a consonant is followed by a word beginning with another consonant, the two consonants will be pronounced as two consonants. If the ending consonant is a stop consonant, the ending stop consonant is not released before the following consonant is pronounced (especially when it is followed by another stop or affricate consonant).
