vowel Ma / o / ri
- To pronounce the ng properly, try this trick.

- Drag the two words and run them together
- Now say the si in your mind and the ng a out aloud
- Be careful when pronouncing the t
- To make sure that you do not get a "t hiss" sound, make sure that your tongue is pushed hard up behind your top front teeth.
