English Pronunciation 👄 Consonant - /m/ - 'hammer', 'mime' and 'more'

This is a consonant sound - it's pronounced  /m/. I make this sound by closing my lips and  

letting the sound come through my nose. /m/  I can even feel my nose vibrating - you try:  

/m/. You can hear this sound at  the beginning of the word 'more',  

in the middle of the word 'hammer', at the  end of the word 'sum' and at the beginning  

and end of the word mime. Now you try - listen  and repeat: more - hammer - sum - mime. Good.

It may be difficult to hear the  difference between this sound /m/  

and two similar sounds the sound /n/ that  you hear at the end of the word 'son',  

and the sound /ŋ/ that you hear at the end of  the word 'sung'. Now listen carefully - and  

what's the shape of my mouth as I say these  words: sum - sun - sung, rum - run - rung.  

Now you try - listen and repeat after me:  sum - sun - sung, rum - run - rung. Good.
