Let’s play those flashcards again

Before moving on to the next section in this lesson, play those words once more. Focus on the /ŋ/.

To master them quickly, make sure you say the words out loud, as if you were talking to me.

Would you like to master more words?

In my Live English Classes you get to hear and say dozens of everyday words with unexpected sounds. To practise them with me, join my Live English Classes.
