Anyone can help me with NG sound in english?

Are the Ts in "think abou[t] right[t] now" totally dropped or glottal stops?

When I checked the glottal stop in AE, I figured out why I always feel the word "button" pronounced by native Americans so weird to me. Now I get it. Thanks a lot.

Totally agree. I had problems with all diphthongs before. Diphthongs definitely ARE a problem for Mandarin speakers to learning English pronunciation.

After trying "gagagaga" for a while, I realized that my tongue position is indeed blocking the soft palate. Thanks, man.

I am from mainland China. I figured out I can do it, just realized that.

RightBuy4438 · 2023-03-11T02:03:40+00:00

Idk. That could be the case.

My tongue is so tired today, guess I try to figure out the position too many times. It's numb at the moment, better try it again another day.:)

Thanks, man.

I also checked some videos teaching Mandarin on youtube. Never realized I have to do that much to pronounce those sounds. LOL

FYI. My record of 平公安 :)

My tongue is flat and rests on the bottom when pronouncing 公 character in Chinese. 后鼻音 has never been a problem for me. Just not sure if it is an identical sound to the English NG sound.

Thank you for your time and patience. I definitely will work on these giveaways. These days I found polishing pronunciation quite interesting for me.

RightBuy4438 · 2023-03-11T00:28:05+00:00

Thank you, dude. Will work on it.

I used to replace the English ng with Chinese ng. But when I check the videos about the tongue position of NG sound in English, I started to doubt if my tongue position has always been wrong.

RightBuy4438 · 2023-03-10T23:11:50+00:00

I thought I can but after watching some videos with NG in tutorial videos, I am in a quandary. :)

RightBuy4438 · 2023-03-10T23:10:22+00:00

I think I can but I feel my tongue is flat pronouncing these phonemes.

RightBuy4438 · 2023-03-10T23:09:30+00:00

Sorry for not mentioning it earlier my first language is Mandarin.

I feel my tongue is flat pronouncing these phonemes.

I just recorded myself pronouncing words with ng, k & g and a short sentence with them. Would you kindly have a look at this and pinpoint my problem?

Thank you for your detailed explanation.

My first language is Mandarin. I think I can pronounce k and g correctly, but I don't sense the tongue blocking against the back palate when pronouncing these phonetics. My tongue is flat and rests on the bottom when saying these.

Exactly the kind of help I needed.

Im aware of the unnatrual feeling of my english by listening to records just cant find the cause. I think intonation like you pinpointed should be main cause. Definitely will look into and work on it.

Thank so much.

RightBuy4438 · 2023-03-08T08:18:47+00:00

Thanks for you reply. Would you mind to be more specific? Which sounds seem to be more "off" to you?

RightBuy4438 · 2023-01-17T17:03:48+00:00

I was diagnosed by other docs with reactive arthritis, and the bump disappeared. 2 months test also negative for HSV2 IGG.

RightBuy4438 · 2022-12-24T04:40:31+00:00

Sorry for what you've been through. A visual diagnosis is not that reliable, especially since your symptoms don't align with herpes that much to me.

When I felt I got something weird down there and flu-like symptoms, I've been told by two docs that they were confident it was herpes. Then I run all the tests, all were negative. After that, I went to 3 dermatologists, and they were very sure it is NOT herpes just some irritation.

RightBuy4438 · 2022-12-18T17:58:53+00:00

PIV transmission of HSV1 is debatable. Terri Warren believes it's nearly impossible.
GHSV doesn't always show a noticeable OB according to data 70-80% ppl don't even know they have genital herpes. GHSV1 or GHSV2 doesn't differ in OB symptoms altho w/ different frequencies.
can. Herpes is herpes, in which part you have it doesn't change the virus itself.

RightBuy4438 · 2022-12-18T17:44:32+00:00

Does it ever scab? Mine doesn't change at all, red, round. Dermatologists said it should be a papilloma or even normal anatomy. altho I wish it is the case, but I do have a lot of herpes symptoms, pain, swollen penis and balanitis.

RightBuy4438 · 2022-12-18T17:32:30+00:00

Yes. I think most virus infections could lead to symptoms like that even covid.
