							| The proper way is the "ing" sound... "in" is more slang... |  14 Nov 2008

							| I study English and was taught that -ing is pronounced WITHOUT the final consonant �g�. The �n� sound becomes nasal and velar.

							| Hi, all. 
 But how do you pronounce the following:
 
 -The pupil�s going to the room.
 -The pupils go into the room.
 
 So that the listener understands what you mean?

							| The "i" sound in the ing is a tad longer and more pronouced... and the "i" in into is more clipped and shorter... I know that it�s quite hard at times for non-natives to hear the difference sometimes though. |  15 Nov 2008
