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."

I picked up this movie to celebrate Hangul Day which is every October 9th.
At first glance, he doesn't seem to have much in common with Hangeul Day.
But you are going to realize he is one of the most beautiful writers of Hangul.
His name is “동주” who was a precious light in the darkest days.
He died young, unfortunately. But his works melt the hearts of many people and represent their hearts to this day.
For those who are learning Korean and who are interested in Korean, I highly recommend it!!!😍
