are talking about two sounds at the end of a word only I've been working with a

lot of native Spanish speakers who are speaking English very fluently and

they're doing a beautiful job but the sounds that they're really struggling

with are m and n at the end of words so let's go ahead and take a look at each

of these sounds so again today's lesson is only about these sounds at the end of

a word so we have m mmmm so to make this M sound all you're going to do is put your

lips together mmm and the air is going to move out of your nose mmm the other

sound is nnn and to make that sound again the sound is coming the air is

coming out of your nose the difference is your mouth is open and the tip of

your tongue is touching the back of your top front teeth nnn so we have again

mmmmm and nnnn this gets very confusing at the

end of the word because they sound very similar and if you don't have this

combination of sounds in your language at the end of words it gets very very

confusing it's important to learn the differences in these endings in certain

words that are minimal pairs and a minimal pair means that the words are

exactly the same except for one sound and in this case we're going to have an

M and an N minimal pair at the end of words and we're going to practice these

words have eight words for you today we're not going to talk much about the

other sounds because again this lesson is about M mm vs. and N nn at the end of

words let's give it a try let's try the M words first term we have a silent

letter here we have the B we don't say it comb

foam and some and sum yes those words are pronounced the same they are spelled

differently now let's try words that end with the n sound turn cone phone and

son now I'm going to try both words to together so you can hear the

difference term turn comb cone foam phone some son I'm gonna try them all one

more time term turn comb cone foam phone some Sun so remember m your lips are

together mmm and n your mouth is open tip of your tongue is touching the back of

your top front teeth nnn both sounds the air goes through your nose so give it a

try I know people are going to notice the difference have you found this
