A nursery Rhyme! ✔️"Eeny, meeny, miny, moe", which can be spelled a number of ways, is a children's counting rhyme, used to select a person in games such as tag. It is one of a large group of similar 'counting-out rhymes' where the child who is pointed to by the chanter on the last syllable is 'counted out'. The rhyme has existed in various forms since well before 1820,[1] and is common in many languages with similar-sounding nonsense syllables.

Since many similar counting rhymes existed earlier, it is difficult to ascertain this rhyme's exact origin.

‼️Many non-native speakers of English make the mistake of pronouncing "ng" as two sounds. However, with a number of exceptions, the sound /g/ is not usually pronounced and /n/ is produced with the back of the tongue touching the soft palate. So, the word "sing" is pronounced /siŋ/ , NOT /sing/. ‼️ Watch the video if you are still curious to know how it works. 🔵Here is the script: One of my regular blog users has sent of herself speaking to help work out some of her pronunciation problems. There was one thing that I noted that I wanted to add here, because I thought that other people might be able to benefit from it. This NG sound: ng [?]. When she makes it, it is often followed by a kk or gg, quick sound, which sounds like a bit of a click at the end of the word. For example: sing, wrong. It’s subtle, but it’s not necessary.

To make the NG sound, the middle/back part of the tongue is raising to touch the roof of the mouth. Ng, ng. To make the G/K sound, it is the back of the tongue that is pulling away from the soft palate, so it’s not very far from the NG sound. The NG sound is a little further up, where the tongue touches, the G/K sound is a little further back. But, if you allow any sort of pressure to build up while you’re making the NG sound, and then you pull the tongue down, when the tongue comes down it’s going to make that gg, kk sound. So what you need to avoid doing is letting there be pressure build up and then pulling the tongue away. After you make the ng, NG sound, that is it. That is the final sound. Sing, sing.

So, the sound stops here rather than letting it build up a little further back and then releasing the tongue. Sing. Now, I do want to note, that there are some cases where the G is enunciated on its own, after the ng sound. For example, in the word fungus. And this is because this ‘gus’ is starting the beginning of the next syllable, so the G is enunciated. Gg, gg. There are a few such cases. And I will do a blog on that to follow up. But in general, the NG is most commonly pronounced as the ng, NG sound, and should not be followed by the gg or kk. #pronunciation #intermediate @englishfortomorrow

⭐️Perhaps you have been studying English for a long time and for sure, you know that getting familiar with the culture of a country is at the heart of learning its language. That is exactly why you need to learn how to sing "a lullaby" to a child in English. Try to memorize it as you read along! *This version of lullaby is quite common in the US. *Many people tend to sing just the first 6 lines of it and leave the rest. #Song @englishfortomorrow

✅The reason for sharing this video is twofold : 1- To familiarize you with the tone of the previous lullaby 2- And to introduce you this very nice sitcom (starring Cortney Cox who also played "Monica Geller" in the sitcom "Friends"). Watching sitcoms is a great way to boost up your language. Here's the link for downloading COUGAR TOWN! http://dl1.moviefarsi.com/serial/ #film @englishfortomorrow

Here's the #lyrics to "When You Say Nothing At All" by Ronan Keating.

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark
Try as I may, I can never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes, saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me, wherever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
(crowd)
Try as they may, they can never define what's been said between your heart and mine

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes, saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me, wherever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes, saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me, wherever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all

(You say it best when you say nothing at all
You say it best when you say nothing at all)

The smile on your face
The truth in your eyes
The touch of your hand
Lets me know that you need me

(You say it best when you say nothing at all
You say it best when you say nothing at all)
