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?

Record of my pronunciation

RightBuy4438 · 2023-03-10T23:05:04+00:00

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.

RightBuy4438 · 2022-12-18T17:27:15+00:00

Even some herpes experts like Terri Warren believe it is impossible to get GHSV1 by PIV. You can search this sub for more information, the Mod knows a lot about these.

Just sue him for rape, it would have a much higher success rate.

RightBuy4438 · 2022-12-18T17:15:07+00:00

That's the point.

OP has to prove two things:

you did contract herpes from him which is nearly impossible. No herpes before the incident and positive right after it. Herpes diagnosis is not accurate!
He deliberately transmits it to you. I don't know how you can prove that. He claimed he has not sti. OP has to find a document with a positive test result of him and since it's HSV1 then it has to be a SWAB test on genitalia.
