      Hi, Ardith Hinton!       I read your message from 23.10.2015 15:52       about Explain to me please....               AH>> The nasal sound in "- ing" may be transcribed phonetically        AH>> as an "n" with a tail, like a "g". The idea is that it's        AH>> half way beween "-in" and the version where the "g" is        AH>> fully enunciated.               ak>> Have you seen some teaching guide or a picture in the        ak>> Internet so I could see how to fold my tongue and where        ak>> to put it to pronounce "ing" properly? ;)                      AH> Alas, no. I'll practise on myself in the bathroom        AH> mirror.... :-)                             ak>> "Glottal stop" tells me not very much.                      AH> If your dictionaries are as helpful as mine WRT this        AH> subject, I am not surprised. Okay... you'll need a mirror & one free       hand.                      AH> 1) Plosive consonants               AH> Hold your hand in front of your mouth while enunciating /p/        AH> and /b/. You will feel a little puff of air. If you associate the word                     Thank you, very useful.              Bye, Ardith!       Alexander Koryagin       ENGLISH_TUTOR 2015              --- Paul's Win98SE VirtualBox        * Origin: Quinn's Post - Maryborough, Queensland, OZ (3:640/384)    |
