How to say it - /m/, /n/ & /ŋ/ sounds

Introduction to /m/, /n/ & /ŋ/

/ m/ is spelt 'm', / n/ is spelt 'n' and / ŋ/ is spelt 'ng'. The difference between these consonants is that / m/ is made with the mouth closed, / n/ with the mouth open a bit and the tongue touching the side teeth at the front so that the air cannot escape through the lips, and / ŋ/ the same as / n/, but with the tongue further back.
