About this episode
Some of the most common sounds in English speech don't exist in every language. To make up for this difference, many people pronounce English words with movements more familiar to them. While the sound they make may be similar to the English sound, it will likely impact other sounds around it, and control is lost of one's speech and accent.
The ng combination is a prime example of this, considering the sound made and the position used is not reflected in the word's spelling.
Practice along with me with a series of short phrases and tongue twisters to get used to the "ng" nasal sound as a word endings!
