The AMAZING 'ing' pronunciation SECRET
Рет қаралды 28,113
This SIMPLE technique is so effective... you'll stop sounding 'awkward' in English.
It's not my birthday... but I'm giving away my best English Pronunciation SECRETS for free 🎁🎂
In English... 'ing' pronunciation does not have a 'g' sound... Let me explain...
If a word ends in the 'ing' ending (e.g eating, thing, going) you pronounce an 'ng' sound and not a 'g' sound.
The 'ng' sound can also be written as the 'ŋ sound' in English phonics.
Correct 'ing' pronunciation... is very important to get right.
If you get it wrong, it makes you sound awkward....
And will affect your confidence in English.
So how do you make the 'ing' sound (ŋ sound)?
Let me explain how in 3 simple steps:
1. The back of your tongue touches the back of your mouth (soft pallet) in the SAME position as if you were going to say the /g/ sound in English
2. Instead of dropping your tongue to make the 'g' sound... Keep your tongue in that position.
3. Release air through your nose and NOT your mouth.
'ing' pronunciation and the 'ng' sound in English is NASAL.
That means it comes out of your nose, and not your mouth.
It's as simple as that.
I hope this helps you to improve your pronunciation and and speak English with more confidence, influence, and personality.
Michael.

I am lucky. Because this -ing sound already in my natural language. So, when I was about 8 years old, I learned this sound very easy in Engilish lessons. Our local language is very old version of turkish language. Todays turkish is not know this sound.

This mispronunciation seems to be increasing-uh more and more with American television actors…it makes me CRAZY!!!!! These public personalities presumably have access to diction coaching and training (no GUH!!!). Why are they allowed by executives and fans to get away with this? I’m a 6th generation Texan and even I don’t know if I can continue to listen to this butchery of the English language…y’all

🇧🇷 🇵🇹 For portuguese learners, it is our normal IN, like in the wrong words INdiota, INgreja ou na palavra INdescente. Try to force the IN slightly pressing more the back of the tongue on the up part of the mouth and you'll have it.

in American English, we do pronounce the g sound at the end of ing words for example. Not pronouncing the ing makes the words sound more informal or slangish. The exception to this would be the spoken phrase good morning which often sounds like good mornin without the g sound stressed. It doesn't sound right when the g sound isn't pronounced in other words nor does it sound professional.

I've been living in US for 8 years and am still confusing with this -ing sound. Most of ppl pronunciate it as Goin, Beggin, Sharrin, Makin You can hear it as you listen to many songs, for example, like 'RAYE - Natalie Don't' she pronunciate Begging as Beggin. There is no ING sound it's just IN sound. And mostly ppl say more like Goin when they say Going. I'm goin ther I'm beggin you or makin up. But when they say some other words like Booking, Sleeping, Cooking, Cornering, they sound 'G' Itzza ineresnin noo me.

I'm not a native speaker. However... It seems not true to me. I've heard on multiple occasions Brits prounce "G" at the end. I believe it's a matter of dialect/vernacular. To name an example: Craig Charles in Red Dwarf season 4 episode 2 when talking to human Kryten: "That's our way of recharginG".
@islandgirl3330 Жыл бұрын
Just remember that even native speakers don't speak properly. A word that a lot of people continually pronounce in Guyana, and I also heard of it from my brother in Trinidad, is "mattress." Yet they are English speakers. Pronouncing it as "mattriss" is correct, but they stress the "tress," which is incorrect. I am from Trinidad, and I pronounce "ing" as he does. I was surprised to hear about the "g." I had never heard of it before. A lot of British people also speak with a Cockney accent, which I never quite understood. He is correct. I say it exactly as he does. I was not allowed to use our dialect in my home. A lot of your speech depends on your schooling, your family, and how the people you associate with speak. There is also American English and British English. The speakers use different words for some things and pronounce some words differently. A typical example is "advertisement" and "progress." Listen to an American and a British speaker to hear the difference. When I came to Canada, I used to be confused because I spoke British English and their speech was a bit different. Words like "herbs," "potatoes," "vase," and "tomatoes" are pronounced differently in some countries, especially in America and England. Jamaicans don't pronounce the "h" at the beginning of a word. I am not sure if the people from any other Caribbean country do the same. There are a lot of recordings now in the dictionaries on the Internet to show the difference, but keep in mind that different countries have different accents and British English is the mother tongue for English speakers.
