How to Pronounce the "ng" in an "ing" word in English

Pronouncing the "ng" sound in "ing" words can be a bit tricky for learners of English, but with practice, it can become second nature. The "ng" sound is a nasal consonant, represented by the phonetic symbol /ŋ/. It is produced by the back of the tongue making contact with the soft part of the roof of the mouth (the velum), while the sound resonates in the nasal cavity.

Here are some tips to help you pronounce the "ng" sound correctly in "ing" words:

1. **Positioning the Tongue**: Start by positioning the back of your tongue against the soft part of your upper mouth, as if you are about to say the sound "k." However, instead of releasing the "k" sound, let the air pass through your nose.

2. **Relax the Tongue**: Keep the tongue relaxed to allow for a smooth nasal sound. Tensing the tongue can make the sound come out more like a "g."

3. **Nasal Resonance**: Focus on directing the airflow through your nose. You should feel a slight vibration in your nasal passages.

4. **Avoid a Hard "g" Sound**: Be careful not to add a hard "g" sound at the end. The "ng" sound is a single, continuous sound rather than a combination of "n" and "g."

Here are ten examples for practice:

1. **Sing**: /sɪŋ/
   - "She loves to sing in the choir."

2. **Ring**: /rɪŋ/
   - "The phone began to ring loudly."

3. **Long**: /lɒŋ/
   - "It's going to be a long day."

4. **King**: /kɪŋ/
   - "The king ruled the land wisely."

5. **Bring**: /brɪŋ/
   - "Please bring your book to class."

6. **Thing**: /θɪŋ/
   - "What's that strange thing over there?"

7. **Going**: /ˈɡoʊɪŋ/
   - "Are you going to the party?"

8. **Swimming**: /ˈswɪmɪŋ/
   - "Swimming is my favorite sport."

9. **Running**: /ˈrʌnɪŋ/
   - "He has been running every morning."

10. **Morning**: /ˈmɔrnɪŋ/
    - "I enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning."

Café con acento - Entrevista con Marie (Francia)

提起水坝，人们脑海中可能会出现很多宏伟的大坝建筑： When you think of DAMS, you probably think of a lot of grand dam buildings:
比如：美国的胡佛水坝和中国的三峡大坝等。For example, the Hoover Dam in the United States and the Three Gorges Dam in China.
它们的建筑材料是：土石或钢筋水泥。Their construction material is: earth stone or reinforced cement.
在山东省临沂市，我见到了一个另类的水坝：用橡胶材料建造的。因为建坝地址的原始村名叫“小埠东（bù dōng）”，所以叫“小埠东橡胶坝。” In Linyi, Shandong Province, I saw a different kind of dam: it was made of rubber material. The native village where the dam is built is named “xiǎo bù dōng”, so that is the reason.
