i have big problems with this sound. Thanks for explanations!
🙏Really enjoy watching video🙏
I'm glad you like it, thanks for your comment!
Thank you so much 🥰❤️🥰
You're welcome!
Hi, your pronunciation videos, they are really helpful. I’ve got a question about British (voice/sound) placement, is it the same as in American(sound from the throat)? Thanks
Thanks for your comment! Yes, it is the same as American English.
@@LeanEnglishPronunciation Now I get it, thank you so much for responding!
When does the sound /g/ come after /ŋ/?
E.g. singing /ˈsɪŋɪŋ/ versus
anger /ˈæŋɡə(r)/
There is no rule, you just have to memorise the pronunciation of each word.
Osea que cuando la letra "N" está después de una vocal, se pronuncia con ese sonido??.
No, cuando la letra 'n' es seguido por la letra 'g' o los sonidos /k/ o /g/ se pronuncia /ŋ/.
@@LeanEnglishPronunciation Okey. Gracias por la aclaración.
Thanks for the great pronunciation tip!!
But I find it quite confusing that, according to the Cambridge dictionary, 'n' followed by 'c' is sometimes pronounced /n/ in words like "increase", "incredible" and "incapable" and other times /ŋ/ in words such as the ones you addressed in the video.
I did a quick research on this and I found one website that says "n" in the words above can also be pronounced as /ŋ/ because of Assimilation.
Is there any set of rules for this?
Dictionaries only show phonemic transcription in slanted brackets /n/. Phonemic symbols represent a range of sounds and don't reflect small changes that occur as a result of assimilation.
Phonetic transcription uses square brackets [ŋ] and accurately reflect each individual sound. I explain this in more detail in this video: czcams.com/video/7JQLPy1E7oM/video.html
There are lots of different types of assimilation in English, I discuss the most common types in this video: czcams.com/video/8bi30u0qysc/video.html
@@LeanEnglishPronunciation Thanks for your explanation! I'll check out these videos:)
This is a very tricky sound to tell from the /n/ sound. I kind of feel the need to pronounce the 'g' after the 'n', especially if it's followed by a vowel like in singer, ringing and so on. However, the g is sometimes pronounced by some people, how so? Thanks
Thanks for your comment! Some words, such as 'finger' contain the /g/ sound after the /ŋ/ sound. And in some accents, such as the Midlands accent, the /g/ sound is always pronounced in ''ng' words.
What are you doing right now ❔
Let me know using the continuous tense 😀
I'm watching your video and I'm really enjoying the lesson :)
