Hello there!
This is the "Sounds American" channel.
This is an advanced exercise
to fine tune your pronunciation of the American consonant sound /ŋ/,
as in the word "thing."
In our previous videos
we've already covered the pronunciation of the /ŋ/ sound
sound and practiced it in contrasting word pairs,
like "thin" and "thing."
If you haven't watched these videos yet, make sure that you do,
because this advanced exercise is going to be more challenging.
By the way,
you can find relevant links in the description below, as usual.
Ok
the next step towards improving your American pronunciation
is to practice the /ŋ/ consonant in tricky combinations with other nasal and stop sounds,
like /n/, /d/, or /t/.
There are two key ideas behind this exercise:
first,
you'll have to pronounce lots of /ŋ/ sounds.
Second,
each word will be harder to make than the previous one.
You'll likely find it difficult, but that's exactly the point.
Remember, "no pain, no gain."
This is how it works.
You'll see a word on the screen and hear its pronunciation.
Like this:
Repeat each word after the speaker.
♪
Try and pronounce the words as best you can.
Pause if you need more time.
Let's begin!
You did it!
Congratulations!
That was fun, wasn't it?
Okay, you deserve a break.
