A nursery Rhyme! βοΈ"Eeny, meeny, miny, moe", which can be spelled a number of ways, is a children's counting rhyme, used to select a person in games such as tag. It is one of a large group of similar 'counting-out rhymes' where the child who is pointed to by the chanter on the last syllable is 'counted out'. The rhyme has existed in various forms since well before 1820,[1] and is common in many languages with similar-sounding nonsense syllables.
Since many similar counting rhymes existed earlier, it is difficult to ascertain this rhyme's exact origin.

41 - How to Pronounce NG - No Hard G American English.mp4
βΌοΈMany non-native speakers of English make the mistake of pronouncing "ng" as two sounds. However, with a number of exceptions, the sound /g/ is not usually pronounced and /n/ is produced with the back of the tongue touching the soft palate. So, the word "sing" is pronounced /siΕ/ , NOT /sing/. βΌοΈ Watch the video if you are still curious to know how it works. π΅Here is the script: One of my regular blog users has sent of herself speaking to help work out some of her pronunciation problems. There was one thing that I noted that I wanted to add here, because I thought that other people might be able to benefit from it. This NG sound: ng [?]. When she makes it, it is often followed by a kk or gg, quick sound, which sounds like a bit of a click at the end of the word. For example: sing, wrong. Itβs subtle, but itβs not necessary.
To make the NG sound, the middle/back part of the tongue is raising to touch the roof of the mouth. Ng, ng. To make the G/K sound, it is the back of the tongue that is pulling away from the soft palate, so itβs not very far from the NG sound. The NG sound is a little further up, where the tongue touches, the G/K sound is a little further back. But, if you allow any sort of pressure to build up while youβre making the NG sound, and then you pull the tongue down, when the tongue comes down itβs going to make that gg, kk sound. So what you need to avoid doing is letting there be pressure build up and then pulling the tongue away. After you make the ng, NG sound, that is it. That is the final sound. Sing, sing.
So, the sound stops here rather than letting it build up a little further back and then releasing the tongue. Sing. Now, I do want to note, that there are some cases where the G is enunciated on its own, after the ng sound. For example, in the word fungus. And this is because this βgusβ is starting the beginning of the next syllable, so the G is enunciated. Gg, gg. There are a few such cases. And I will do a blog on that to follow up. But in general, the NG is most commonly pronounced as the ng, NG sound, and should not be followed by the gg or kk. #pronunciation #intermediate @englishfortomorrow

βοΈPerhaps you have been studying English for a long time and for sure, you know that getting familiar with the culture of a country is at the heart of learning its language. That is exactly why you need to learn how to sing "a lullaby" to a child in English. Try to memorize it as you read along! *This version of lullaby is quite common in the US. *Many people tend to sing just the first 6 lines of it and leave the rest. #Song @englishfortomorrow
