North American English Pronunciation - syllable-final m sound

Althought it's easy to pronounce "m" for most speakers of other languages, either by itself or at the beginning of a word or syllable, it's much trickier to pronounce it at the end. The "m" sound is a lot like the "n" sound, so people usually understand it visually. In other words, they read your lips! So, before going through this lesson, sit down with a mirror, pause the video, repeat the word at a moderate speed and make sure that you see your lips coming together for the m sound. I include some minimal pairs, or contrasts, in this lesson, as well as some training words and sentences.
