Velar consonants are sounds you make with the back of your tongue touching the soft palate, also called the velum. It's the fleshy bit at the back of the roof of your mouth, near your uvula (the little dangly thing).

Production:
Raise the back of your tongue up to touch the velum. Airflow is blocked completely for a moment.

Examples in English:
/k/: This is the voiceless velar plosive, the sound at the beginning of "kit" or "cat."
/g/: This is the voiced velar plosive, the sound at the beginning of "game" or the "g" in "going."
/ŋ/: This is the velar nasal, the sound at the end of "sing" or "long." Notice how air can flow out your nose while making this sound.

Other interesting facts:
The sound /k/ is actually one of the most common consonant sound across all human languages! Velar consonants can be influenced by nearby vowels. They might move slightly forward in the mouth (called "fronting") before front vowels like /

i:/ or /ɪ/ or move back (called "retraction") before back vowels like /u/ or /ʊ/.

Some practice tongue twisters:
Kate keeps giving up in the morning
My gran’s going to see the king in the Congo
Can a king conquer a sinking kangaroo
Kick the giggling goblins guarding the gold
Kevin clung to the clinging kangaroo

Dir ist bestimmt aufgefallen, das Muttersprachler das „en“ stumm sagen. Es klingt weilweise wie verschluckt. Am besten lernst du die Aussprache mit -en wenn du genau an der Stelle, wo du -en sagen solltest, deinen Mund mit der Hand zumachst, oder mit deinen Fingern deine Lippen aneinanderpresst. Ich habe den Text mit dem Schwerpunkt en-Endungen einmal langsam, dann schneller vorgelesen. 

Viel Spaß beim Zuhören, Erkennen und Mitlesen:

Eines Morgens beschlossen die beiden Kinder, einen Drachen steigen zu lassen. Sie liefen zum Garten, um die Schnur zu holen. Mit freudigen Gesichtern begannen sie, den Drachen zusammenzubauen. Dann gingen sie auf die Wiese, wo der Wind die Bäume bewegte.

„Wir müssen ihn höher fliegen lassen!“, rief einer von ihnen. Gemeinsam hielten sie die Schnur fest, bis der Drachen tanzend in den Himmel stieg. Die Wolken schienen greifbar, die Vögel flogen davon.

Am Abend, nachdem die Sonne untergegangen war, saßen sie erschöpft am Feuer. „Das war ein unvergesslicher Tag!“, sagten beide, bevor sie zufrieden einschliefen.
