A brilliant video, Christine, thank you! Got a quick question though :)

You said that you keep your tongue behind your bottom front teeth when pronouncing -ɪŋ in "think" and it got me thinking. I was sure that when a lax /ɪ/ is followed by -ng, it gets tenser, that is your tongue goes up a bit, especially for the words where ɪŋ is a suffix. Would you say a lax /ɪ/ does get tenser in certain words because of -ng or -r? Do you think it is regional? Thank you for all the work you do!!

I think I understand the difference. When you say /ŋ/ it's made with the back of the tongue, this doesn't mean lift it, but rather pressing it down?
