Madam Thanks so much for uploading this video! It’s clear for me, I already knew the pronunciation of the “ng” , but I can’t differentiate the pairs of “tongue and tong” or “lung and long” , I would appreciate it if you publish a video for this differentiation! Thanks a million!
Hi! Thanks for your question! The two vowels you are having difficulty with are the UH /ʌ/ vowel, like in "tongue", and the AH /ɑ/ vowel, like in "tong". I have three videos that might help: 1) How to Pronounce the UH /ʌ/ Vowel: ua-cam.com/video/ogwHrVH2Paw/v-deo.html 2) How to Pronounce the AH /ɑ/ Vowel: ua-cam.com/video/WLiPXs4tfW8/v-deo.html 3) AH /ɑ/ and UH /ʌ/ Vowels Minimal Pairs Listening Quiz: ua-cam.com/video/mGjEnty4Rj8/v-deo.html I hope this helps!
Hi DavidRock - Thanks for your question. I hope I'm understanding you correctly - are you asking about the pronunciation of hang, sang, sank, Hank, drank? They all use the AA /æ/ vowel and the NG /ŋ/ consonant. Here's the IPA transcription of the first word "hang" /hæŋ/. The AA /æ/ vowel becomes nasalized in these words, and this means that it sounds closer to the AY /eɪ/ vowel rather than the pure AA /æ/ vowel. I hope I answered your question! :)
Hi Ahmed - Thanks for your question :) I don't pronounce a /g/ after /ng/, but some native speakers might! It all depends on where they're from. But I'd recommend not pronouncing a /g/ after /ng/. I hope this helps!
Great video for ng sound. Thank you.

What about the word (singer). I think there is a /g/ sound after /ng/.
