## Accessing syllables

AK-ses-ing, three syllables, stress on the first. The "cc" is "ks", and the -ing follows straight after a full "ses" syllable.

## Sounds to watch

### Short i versus ee

The short i (as in sit) is shorter and more relaxed than ee. Many learners stretch it into ee, which changes the word.

### The a in cat

Open the jaw wider than for eh and spread the lips slightly. The a in cat is a distinct vowel, not eh or ah.

### The ng sound

The ng is one nasal sound made with the back of the tongue. There is no separate hard g after it.
