How to pronounce

ng

If you are a non-native English speaker, you may be wondering how to correctly pronounce "ng". This sound is created by combining two consonants, the "n" and the "g".

When pronouncing the "ng" sound, the back of your tongue should be raised towards the soft palate while the tip of your tongue should stay down. Then, you should make a sound that is similar to the noise a horse makes ("n-g"). To practice, try repeating the word "sing" several times.

When saying words with the "ng" sound, it is important to not allow any extra space between the "n" and the "g". For example, the word "song" should be said as "so-ng" not "so-n-g".

Additionally, it is important to remember that the "ng" sound is not always the same. For example, when it is at the beginning of a word, it is usually pronounced as "ng-uh" (such as in the word "ngo"). When it is at the end of a word, it is usually pronounced as "ng-g" (such as in the word "long").

By following these tips, you should be able to correctly pronounce the "ng" sound. With enough practice, you will be able to confidently use this sound in your speech.
