TRANSCRIPT

Hello there! This is the "Sounds American" channel.

This is an advanced exercise to fine tune your pronunciation of the American sound /ŋ/, as in the word "thing."
In our previous videos, we've already covered the pronunciation of the /ŋ/ sound and practiced it in contrasting word pairs, like "thin" and "thing." If you haven't watched these videos yet, make sure you do, because this advanced exercise is going to be more challenging. BTW, you can find relevant links in the description below, as usual.

Okay, the next step towards improving your American pronunciation is to practice the /ŋ/ consonant in tricky combinations with other nasal and stop sounds, like /n/, /d/, or /t/.

There are two key ideas behind this exercise:
first, you'll have to pronounce lots of /ŋ/ sounds.
Second, each word will be harder to make than the previous one.

You'll likely find it difficult, but that's exactly the point. Remember "no pain, no gain."

[Pronunciation exercise]
This is how it works.
You'll see a word on the screen and hear its pronunciation. Like this.
Repeat each word after the speaker. Try to pronounce the word s as best as you can. Pause if you need more time.
Let's begin.

• ban – banning – bang – banging – banged
• fan – fanning – fang – fanging – fanged
• pan – panning – pang – panging – panged
• pin – pinning – ping – pinging – pinged
• sin – sinning – sing – singing – sang
• stun – stunning – sting – stinging – stung
• tan – tanning – tang – tanging – tanged
• tin – tinning – ting – tinging – tinged
• win – winning – wing – winging – winged
• run – running – ring – ringing – rang

You did it! Congratulations!
