The one thing

voice ON
/ŋ/ · ng

The BACK of your tongue goes up to the back of the roof and stays. The sound comes out of your nose — ng. Your tongue tip never touches anything.

They check it: Say 'sing' and freeze on the last sound. Feel where your tongue is: at the back, not the front.

Not in Arabic, Somali. For those children this is a new physical skill, not a reminder. Do not let the column start until the mouth can make it.

Watch for

Children say 'sin' or 'sing-g'. Neither has the tongue parked at the back.
