--description--

en is a front nasal final. Like an, it ends with the nasal n sound.

To pronounce en, you begin with a tighter mouth shape than an, then lightly press the tip of your tongue behind your top teeth to finish with n.

This nasal final is short, quick, and forward in the mouth.

When en is combined with the initials, it can form syllables like ben, men, fen, zhen, shen, and ren.

Let's practice pronouncing en and the syllables, and then use shen in different tones as an example.

Pinyin	Character
shēn	深
shén	神
shěn	审
shèn	慎

--assignment--

I've listened to the audio and practiced pronouncing the nasal final and syllables.
