- čas přidán 16. 02. 2019
- Do you need some help with your English pronunciation? Today we are focusing on words ending in “-ing” and “-ink”. For example, words like “sing”, “ring”, “bring”, “pink”, “sink”, and “blink” are all words that end in either “-ing” or “-ink”. Some of these words have one syllable, and some have two, such as in “singing”. In this lesson, I will pronounce the words for you and explain how to say them. You will get a chance to practise your pronunciation with me. As a bonus, you may also learn some new vocabulary! Whether you are a beginner or you want to brush up on your English pronunciation, this lesson is for you. I think you may be on the brink of learning something new!

TRANSCRIPT
Hello. I'm Gill from at engVid, and we have a lesson today on pronunciation of two sounds, which are similar, but different: "ing", which comes at the end of a lot of verbs: "walking", "talking", "cooking", "cleaning", that sort of thing; the present participle. And another one: "ink", which also has a sort of "in" sound in it as well, so they are... They have a similarity, but there's also a difference.
So, I find that with some of my students, they don't quite get the pronunciations right, and some students with "ing" do a sort of hard "g" sound at the end, like: "ing", "ing", but you don't need to do that. You can stop before that hard "g" sound. It looks, from the spelling, as if it's needed, but it's not, so it's just: "ing", "ing", "ing", and it's sort of in the throat, and you don't have to do a "ga", "ga" in... In your mouth, the sound in the mouth with it. So: "ing".
And then with "ink", there's still a "in" sound in it, but it ends with a "k". And I find also some of my students, maybe from Eastern Europe in particular, say "ink" when they're really trying to say "ing", so they might say: "singingk", "lookingk", "cleaningk", and that also is wrong. So, no hard "g" and no "k" for the "ings".
So, I thought what we could do is look at some words that are real words in both... Under both headings. So, we've got: "sing" and "sink", so it helps you to practice the slight difference between them. So, also hopefully there may be some new vocabulary here for you, so you can learn some new words at the same time. So, let's have a look.
Let's go through the "ings" first, so: "sing", and we can also... With some of these, if they're a verb, we can say: "singing", "singing", so both of those sounds; that sound comes twice. "Singing". So, don't make the "ga" or "ka" sound with it. "Thing", "thing". "Ring", so you could have: "ringing", "ringing", and it's just "na", "na", "na" in your throat, like that. "Ringing", "ringing". Okay.
"Ping", "pinging", "pinging". So, "ping"... "Ping" is a funny word. It sort of suggests a sound, like a little ringing sound: "Ping, ping, ping", if something makes that sort of sound. And also it's used in computing, if you ping someone to see how long it takes for a message to arrive. Or some people just say: "I'll ping that across to you", meaning: I will email it across to you. They use "ping" to mean send, as well as the more technical meaning of seeing how long it takes for a message to reach somewhere. Okay. So: "ping" and "pinging".
"Bring", I'm sure you know that word. "Bring", to bring something with you. I... "Will you bring a bottle to the party?" Something like that. "Wing" on a bird, the... The bird flies with the wings. "Wing". Okay. "Ming" has a capital "M" because it's the Ming dynasty in China, so you get very valuable pieces of pottery or porcelain. A vase - you could have a Ming vase, for example; very valuable, very old. So: "Ming". Okay. "King", I'm sure you know the word "king". The king and the queen in countries where they have royalty. "King".
Ah, now this is a funny one. "Bling" is a little bit sort of an informal, slang word. It refers to people who like to wear a lot of jewellery, lots of very noticeable, thick... A thick, gold necklace, lots of rings, big rings on their hands, on their fingers. Just to show how much money they have, they buy lots of jewellery, and it's big and shiny, and that's called "bling". A lot of very noticeable jewellery is... is called "bling", to show off how much money you have to spend on things like that. So, that's quite a funny word. Okay.
So, just to go on to the "ink", so: "sink". So, you still get the "in" sound in it, but you can then put the "k" on. So, you might have: "sinking"; you might actually add "ing" to it. A lot of these, you could add "ing". […]
A lot of my students do this mistake also and now I can explain it to them this way! Great explanation. Thank you so much! Bless your heart

The ing sound is the hardest for me! the voiced th is another one, but your video helped a lot! We in brazil tend to pronounce as a hard g at the end.
Excellent! Thank You!

lations! Eu me inscrevi.
I'm really appreciate that
thank you so much
Thanks a lot
Of course, that's very helpful. In Brazil we don't have words that end in "-ing". So, for us to produce this sound it is quite something.
How would I differ these two sounds "sin" and "sing", please?
Thank you very much for sharing it!😊
شكرًا كان الله في عونك

Hello Gill , I have discovered your videos recently, and are very useful for me , I'm learning English now and your videos are very clear for me and make me feel that I can learn because I'm very confused lately with a lot of information and I feel is impossible sometimes. Could you make a video about when use...ing, when use ing after preposition, when use to, etc... I'm really confused. Thannk you so much.
Best english accent teacher ever
I learned a lot from her but i still dont know how i should pronounce the T or i dont.
Anyone have the knoledge about the british T?
so Thank you
Dzisiaj znalazłem tę lekcję z Gillem - szkoda, że dopiero po tylu latach słyszę piękny angielski. Today I found this lesson with Gill - it's a pity that only after so many years I can hear beautiful English
Thank you
Gill !!!!! I missed you so much !
Great vedio i learned a lot from your vedios ma'm.Thanks
it is a real great sitethanks a lot
What about 4:16? I can hear that in that there was present some remaining of the hard 'g' or perhaps a bit of 'k' sound? Is there any exercise to practise the pronunciation of the -ing sound?
¡ I'm your fan !
thanks
Wow so nice
You're adorable! thanks for this video
so cute when winking😉
Love how you explained the word kink, haha!
Hi
Good 😊
I find it funny how i have no issues with -ing but on double -ing i usually pronounce the first g (just like how the teacher exemplified, the ga sound) haha
Hello Gill
I hope you will post video every week😊
Thank you for the lesson. The sound -ing is really hard to mimic for non native speakers like me. It almost seems like you either sai -inn or -inG (with a strong G).
Hi. from Thailan I like teacher Gill
Good job on your lesson plans on the board?
More video please!!!!
you are so beautiful and thank you for your lessons
You are so cute I would like to hug you
Thank you. A yorkshireman, I declined having my voicing as reference (French student), then found this video...
very clear Gill..
(Is there a Yorkshire accent behind that clarity?)
Thanks Dave - you're not far off - I'm originally from the East Midlands :-)
So what's the difference in pronunciation between for example "I'm lovin' it" and "I'm loving it" ??
💯💯💯🙏👏🏻👏🏻
💕🙏
Weird. I always felt the British have a far more prominent hard G sound for -ing than other native English speaking countries. Am I wrong? Example 0:12
Thank you, I thought I was going crazy. I have just recently started hearing people pronouncing a hard G on the end of words ending in ING. I don’t know how it started, but is very annoying.
Aren't your students just lucky people 😊😚 ?
Hi Gill! I'm wondering if sing is pronounced and phonetically spell like "seen-g. And for Sink is "seen-g-k? Would thinking be pronounced like thing- king as "theen-g keen-g".
Hi - the i in those words is a short vowel sound - ee is a longer vowel sound - it's like the difference between IT and EAT :-)
Thank you Gil.
@@engvidGill
Gill, I'm Brazilian, my native language is Brazilian Portuguese and I see no similarity between ING and INK. In my ears, the G is not a G sound, it's similar to NH in Portuguese UNHA, while the K is strongly pronounced. ==(gilberto lehrer from brazil)
It's the same ng in long, oblong, tongue right?
Yes, it's the same sound (ng) in the throat, but the vowel sound in front of the ng can be different -- rang, ping, long, sung :-)
讲的很好.我一句也听不懂.我该怎么学习啊?😭
nice frame of glasses
As somebody that has worked very hard to pronounce my words correctly and trying to bury my Mancunian accent. Im seriously struggling with the "ing" in a sentence. For example, my sister says that i sound like a robot when i say "im thinking about that" or i was thinking the same thing ...basically the "king" part is kinda crippling me lol
God by with you

"I will email it ACROSS to you" this sounds pretty new for me, I can understand the meaning but I've never heard it before ! May I have other examples?
Hi - it's usually when something or someone moves from one place to another - eg "She walked across the room." :-)
@@engvidGill Thank you madam. The fact that makes it sounding different to me is that I thought across was like 'going through' - as in your second example - and never in couple with 'to'. Thank you again.

What's meaning of "likely to happen " in English?
Means that it'll probably happen but with some doubt.
Your camera tones must be well off if your orange top is pink, although your scarf has some pink in it...
No offence lovely Gill but that’s a very Orange looking pink! 🥴
Yeah, I thought the same 😅, she is lovely with a great pronounciation but that's not pink.
Thanks Rebecca and Mely -- I think the bright lighting in the room made the colour look different -- I agree with you it looks orange, but that's not the colour of that item of clothing in daylight :-)
