How to make this sound:

Video Text:

The ng, N-G sound, is similar to the nn, N sound, but it's a different part of the tongue that raises.  In the ng sound, it's actually the middle-back part of the tongue that raises, to touch the middle-back of the roof of the mouth.  Therefore the sound feels more like it comes from here, rather than the nn, N sound which is much more forward-feeling.  As you can see, the jaw drops just a bit, ng, but the mouth remains in a neutral position.  Sample words:  thing, singing, wing.  Sample sentence:  Studying English is rewarding.
