How to Pronounce an N, G

Sometimes if you add a suffix to a word that ends with an N, G, you will still pronounce that as an N,G. For example, Ping, pinging. It's not ping, ging. There is no g, pinger. When we have other suffixes like King, Kingdom, we do not pop the G. You're still going to be clear and clarity is more important than accuracy. This is a bit more advanced, but the most important thing is that you train your ear and your tongue for the sake of practice, but don't obsess over it.
