   Hi, mark lewis!   
   I read your message from  20.05.2015 04:27   
   about Explain to me please....   
      
    ak>> My Oxford dictionary can pronounce words, but I still cannot find   
    ak>> "the quite difference" between sinner and singer.   
      
    ml> as in the definitions?   
      
   The main problem IMHO in the nasal sound in "ing". Which many pronounce very   
   close to "in".

   -----Beginning of the citation-----   
   English Pronunciation: Sounds with N An "- ing" ending is used regularly   
   in central, northern and western areas. "Ing" is considered professional   
   speech. Americans use "in" regularly (instead of - ing) if they live in   
   the south -- this ending is part of the southern dialect. People outside   
   of the south may use "in" for informal speech, especially young people.   
   In this case, a person may say "ing" sometimes and "in" at other times   
   depending on the situation.   
   ----- The end of the citation -----   
      
   Bye, mark!
