The /n/ /m/ and /ŋ/ sounds.


/m/ is the sound in me, summer, 
and comb.
To make the /m/ sound:
-Keep your lips together.
-Use your voice to make a sound.
-Let the sound go through your 
nose as you breathe.





/n/ is the sound in now, sunny, 
and new.
To make the /n/ sound:
-Push your tongue to the top of your 
mouth
-Make sure the sides of your tongue
are touching your side teeth
-Use your voice to make a sound 
and let the sound go through your 
nose as you breathe


/ŋ/ is the sound in thing, think, 
and single.
To make the /ŋ/ sound:
-First, practice the /g/ sound.
-Push the back of your tongue up 
against the roof of your mouth as
if you were making the /g/ sound.
-Keep your tongue in that position
while you use your voice to make
a sound.


And now...some practice:
Practice the /ŋ/ sound here/ŋ/
Practice here the three sounds: /n/ /m/ /ŋ/
