how to pronounce 鼻濁音(nga、ngi、ngu、nge、ngo) ?
After reading the textbook, I really wonder about 鼻濁音. Do you still use it? and how to pronounce it correctly? it just sound like na ni nu ne no when I speak nga、ngi、ngu、nge、ngo.

Question

Answer

Hi Stacey,
I do not use 鼻濁音 in daily basis. It makes me remind only そんなんが（＝そんなのが; nga） and 日本語 (; ngo) that I use.
Based on Japanese language, I think nga ngi ngu nge ngo are distinctly different from na ni nu ne no, so you have to pronounce them correctly.
However, 鼻濁音 is rarely used now, so you do not need to get trouble on it.
