00:11You can hear it at the beginning of the word nice,
00:14in the middle of the word funny,
00:17at the end of the word son,
00:20and at the beginning and end of the word none.
00:24In English, we make this sound with the tongue behind the teeth.
00:33And when you make this sound,
00:35you should be able to feel a vibration in your nose.
