Lessons Unit 1, lesson 41

ŋ as in sing

One consonant, on its own page. Hear it, watch where it sits in each word's sheet, then say the words yourself.

ŋthe ng in sing

One sound made at the back of the nose — not n plus g. Say sing and hold the end: siiing. Don't let a hard g pop out afterwards.

ˈs s ɪ i ŋ ng
sing
ˈɹ r ɪ i ŋ ng
ring
ˈl l ɔː o ŋ ng
long
ˈk k ɪ i ŋ ng
king

Now say it yourself

Read each word from its sheet, out loud, three times. Where there's a play button, listen first and copy what you hear. Slow is fine — clear beats fast.

ˈs s ɔː o ŋ ng
song
ˈθ th ɪ i ŋ ng
thing
ˈw w ɪ i ŋ ng
wing
ˈj y ʌ ou ŋ ng
young
ˈb b ɹ r ɪ i ŋ ng
bring
ˈm m ɔː o ɹ r n n ɪ i ŋ ng
morning
