The oi sound in noisy is similar to the Spanish oy as in hoyo.
The ng sound in singer is unlike anything is Spanish, but if you have problems replicating the sound try the ng as in tango. Many New Yorkers , especially older generation New Yorkers use that formula(singuer, Longuyland ![]()

As the others have said, no and no. In "sinner" the "n" is always pronounced with the front edge of the tongue touching the alveolar ridge (the place just behind the front teeth where the top of the mouth turns almost vertical) and the back of the tongue pulled down, while in "singer" the "ng" is usually pronounced with the back of the tongue touching the ulvula (the soft part of the top of the mouth) and the front of the tongue pulled down.
The first syllable of "nosey" rhymes with the word "beau" (or "bow" = arco); using Spanish spelling it sounds like "nou". (The spelling "bow" has 2 different pronunciations: when "bow" = inclincarse, doblegarse, ceder; reverencia it is pronounced "bow": using Spanish spelling it sounds like "bau".) The first syllable of "noisy" rhymes with "boy(s)": using Spanish spelling it sounds like "noy". Last edited by wrholt; January 29, 2013 at 03:43 PM. |
