Wow.
What you do is just AMAZING!! Seriously, you're the best. It's SO CLEAR to understand and see the differences! I'm glad we have you and your unique way to teach.

(By the way, I love your natural looking. This seems to reflect on the way you teach and that's why it's so easy and natural to connect with you and to understand you.

You deserve the best.
Thank you!

Yes, for us it makes a big difference in clarity and accent. I've worked with many Brazilians ... I know the sounds seem the same to you! So focus on the position. :)

The pronunciation is very hard for me. I watched a lot of videos on youtube but the teachers just talked about the sound and didn't talk about the mouth position and the tongue so much. But everything was clear after i had watched your videos. Thank you so much indeed. hello from Vietnam

[MDzhura]

Hurray! I do understand the difference in n and ng sounds. Thank you a lot.

[meepmeep]

I feel like I'm learning how to read lips and pernounce things at the same time! I hope there are more like this!!! °^°

(I'm a native English speaker, by the way, but I still find these quite entertaining!)

Perfect! With your vídeo and your tongue possition, I finally got the right pronounciation of ng sound. Thank you so much! You're a really good teacher.

[RAZACHATI]

Rachel you are so good that you've got me working on my tongue and I am loving it. thank you

[JUNINHOBH]

I love this channel!
Thank you, Rachel!

[rachelsenglish]

What you are hearing is [ŋg] -- some people do have a bit of a heavy ending which makes the [g] sound.

[kehtang]
