Orals: consonants sound nasal: /n/,/m/, and /g/ - SS2 English Lesson Note

Nasal sounds are produced when air is expelled through the nose as well as the mouth. This is because the velum, or soft palate, is lowered, which allows air to pass through the nasal cavity.
The three nasal sounds in English are /m/, /n/, and /ŋ/.
/m/ is produced by closing the lips together. Examples of words with the /m/ sound include mat, mom, and jam.
/n/ is produced by touching the tongue to the roof of the mouth behind the teeth. Examples of words with the /n/ sound include no, net, and sing.
/ŋ/ is produced by raising the back of the tongue to the velum. This sound is only found at the end of words, such as ring, sing, and long.
Here are some more examples of words with the nasal sounds:

/m/: man, moon, camel, hammer, hymn
/n/: net, nine, knee, sing, ring
/ŋ/: sing, long, bring, song, wrong
To correctly pronounce the nasal sounds, it is important to keep the velum lowered while producing the sounds. This can be difficult at first, but with practice, it will become easier.

Sentences that use the nasal sounds:

The man sat on the bench and ate his lunch.
The moon was full and bright in the sky.
The camel walked through the desert.
The hammer hit the nail on the head.
The hymn was sung by the choir.
