English Sounds - NG [ŋ] Consonant - How to make the NG [ŋ] Consonant

[@LUZIVALDETF]

i'm so happy with my progress in English,after I started watching your lessons on KZbin.Thank you so much for the opportunity to learn.RACHEL'S ENGLISH

[@amineselmi]

Thank you so much Rachel, you're helping us to improve our American English become better,........ Keep up good job.

[@camelliab6224]

I am a native English speaker and I can’t make this sound by itself for the life of me

[@joj4096]

you do know how to do it, you just dont realize it

[@wallacesousuke1433]

Can you say sing/singer/bring/going? If so, yes you can :D

[@RoddyBezerra]

haha

[@johnhalat]

Words like "singer" can be very tricky for non native speakers. You could explain that to us. It´d be interesting. ng + er. Words like singer and longer seem to be pronounced ina a different way. Longer seems to have the g sound. But here are lots os examples with ng+vowel.

[@rachelsenglish]

Good suggestion, thanks!

Thank you so much for this video. I'm reading about Sumerian language and the Ng sound was commonly used. Best regards!

[@ramzy-6566]

please Mrs. Rachel for the word ( long /lɔŋ/ - /lɑŋ/ ) which sound do use in your state. /ɔ/ - /ŋ/

[@BlueSky-lc4gx]

can you make videos on reading words with ing in sentences and how to connect that sound with the following words ?is g read for example in..".my rings are" ??

[@insspir]

According to Wiktionary - not in this specific case, rings - /ɹɪŋz/. When you're in doubt, I recommend searching for the phonetic transcription, the IPA is surprisingly easy to learn when you use it everyday. After some time, you will also learn the pronunciation patterns.

[@BlueSky-lc4gx]

@@insspir thanks a lot.

[@insspir]

@@BlueSky-lc4gx Also an important tip - don't try to get rid of your foreign accent obsessively, embrace the fact that you can effectively communicate, even though your English isn't perfect. Thinking this way helps me a lot, maybe it will also help you

[@halam6702]

Please rachel, what about ngs we pronounce the letter g or no as in songs,feelings ,etc???

[@rachelsenglish]

Hi! You want to link the NG consonant directly into the Z consonant - you don't want a G consonant release - great question!

[@rabeeaalmelli937]

Thanks

[@LennoNg01]

This is the correct pronunciation.English users may not pronounce this syllable correctly.They pronounce the last name like this.They pronounce this last name as “ink” The pronunciation in the video is correct.

Hi Rachel

[@thuydungmai8537]

Hello Rachel, can you make videos on PR/BR or PL/BL for us? I found it challenging to pronouce them. Thanks@

[@phieubong1730]

thank you so much for you videos

[@asmaahassan8003]

Can we say for kids that letter (g) is silent when it comes after letter (n) at the end of words.For example : sing,ring ,wing,song.Can we say that to make it simple for kids ? Is it a right way for teaching kids?

[@rachelsenglish]

NG is a different sound and tongue position than N. The NG consonant presses the back of the tongue against the soft pallet. Check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6XLZqltmb2FoM0

[@pinkrose5127]

@Rachel's English should we hear a slight sound of the letter g at the end?

[@rachelsenglish]

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. For instance, 'hanger' or 'singing' will not have a G sound, just the NG sound. However, 'finger' and 'angle' will have a G sound!

Hello Rachel, I'm Jose for Costa Rica. Would you please help me with these 2 words. turtle and total. Thank you .....

[@7MPhonemicEnglish]

Another digraph used to represent a single speech sound. I missed this one until now. Hopefully this is the last bit of 1st Grade brainwashing left to be extracted from my mind. Now I know that I'm pronouncing NEITHER the /n/ or the /g/ when I make this sound. This reminds me of the "dark L" in that it puts the tongue in perfect position to pronounce a particular following consonant. To argue that this is a vowel blown out the nose would necessitate arguing that /m/ & /n/ are vowels blown out the nose. They don't fully manifest as consonants until released into a following vowel. In a word like 'unkempt', the release of /m/ never happens, so it's just a brief hum sound before an unvoiced /t/. Oh well, no point fretting over it. The /ng/ sound has a much weaker release without a following /g/ or /k/. Compare 'thingy' vs 'hunger' or 'thinker'. Compare 'anger' vs 'hanger'. We omit the /g/ in 'hanger'. Using this digraph prevents the reader from knowing whether the /g/ is silent or not, so again the English learner must rote memorize the pronunciation of all /ng/ containing words.

[@rachelsenglish]

Thanks for sharing! :)

[@mohamedfarid5632]

great job

[@vokha3870]

Idk why I'm here, my mother-tongue even have an initial "ng"

[@GrannyIsWatchingYou]

Ŋ

[@muayboran6111]

So why doesn’t this sound have its own letter… just wondering, that’s why I ended up here. It’s used in so many languages.

[@wallacesousuke1433]

There's a symbol for that but yeah, English is a non-phonetic language and this sucks lol I made the mistake of learning it first by reading a lot of English content... To this day I'm still trying to catch up and learn the correct pronunciation of all words

[@shuxratbekxusainov2538]

So quiet

[@DavidDLee]

You are contradicting yourself! You indeed say 'son' and not 'song' but you most obviously say 'finger' and not 'finner'

[@mikeklimczak9600]

She sounds like a robot. No one really talks like this and it's misleading to those trying to learn English.

[@wallacesousuke1433]

Because she wants and need to be as clear and understandable as possible? Why are you even here if you already know the language? That's how languages are taught, you can't rush and speak lazily like natives normally do

[@علوشالعراقي-ر3ض6ز]

Is it the same tongue position with G and K?

[@rachelsenglish]

Yes! The only difference is the activation of the vocal cords for the G consonant!

[@shilpasakhare6612]

Is ‘ng’ sound a consonant or a digraph?

[@rachelsenglish]

That's a consonant sound!

[@wallacesousuke1433]

This sound is a nightmare for me haha I speak Brazilian Portuguese.. funny that European Portuguese, Spanish and Galician, all closely related to Portuguese, all have this sound but somehow Brazilians missed out on it (or lost it long ago, I don't know) 🙈

[@illogicmath]

For me it's impossible to hear the difference between sin and sing. Or know if I pronounce finger or fiŋger

practice makes perfect. great video for ng sound.

[@أحمدرمضانعلي-ث6ذ]

Rachel , what the pronunciation if the [ NG ] followed by an [ s ] ... Such as [ Rings ] ... We will pronounce The [ g ] in this case like the [ g ] in this word [ goal ] ...or not ...And could you please recommend a phonetics course cause I really like this science and I wanna increase my knowledge in phonetics ...

[@rachelsenglish]

Hi! No, the NG consonant here would be without the G sound - it would just have the NG or [ŋ] sound. As for a phonetics course, I'm not sure if I know of one that I could recommend. But if you find one please let me know - I'd love to have one that I can offer when I get the request! :)

[@أحمدرمضانعلي-ث6ذ]

Okay , Rachel ... thanks for replying ... I'm so glad to you my dear teacher ...

Thankfully we have this sound in Spanish in words like Cinco.

[@kentjamesgabrielquileste8102]

I forgot this..

[@حمزهحنفيفه]

For me ,if " ing" is the last sound and there's no other word or sound after it ,I could make it sound but in these cases" singer, singing,hang out" the sound of " g" have to be produced .In the last case , I couldn't make " ng" sound . Is it wrong?

[@rachelsenglish]

It's fine to pronounce the G--especially when the word is at the end of a phrase or sentence.
