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

みんなは田舎と都会、どっちが好き？ おれはねぇ、けっこうどっちも好きなんだけど、どっちかっていうと田舎の方が好きなんだよなぁ。 なんか小さい頃は田舎って正直つまんないなぁって思ってたんだけど、大人になってからは都会で人が多すぎるとちょっとストレスになっちゃうからあんまり都会は好きじゃなくなっちゃったわ。 まぁいま住んでるとこみたいに田舎過ぎても、そんなに好きじゃないんだけどね。 でも、どっちかっていうと田舎の方が好きだな。 今日も聞いてくれてありがとう！ バイバイ
