/n/ Consonant

-

The correct way to make the sound is when  the tongue is firmly pressed against the gum ridge behind upper the front teeth the airstream is continuously through the nose. Then the vocals cords are vibrating.

The letter n is almost always pronounced n. Exception when n follows m in the same syllable, it is usually not pronounced it is silent. 
When an unstressed syllable begins with t or d and the ends with n, the n is frequently pronounced as syllabic n. It is formed by keeping the tongue tip on the upper gum ridge without moving it from the position of preceding t or d

The consonant [t] is a common sound and, for many learners, it does nor cause much difficulty.

The letter t is usually pronounced [t]. The letters ed in past tense verbs are pronounced [t] when they follow a voiceless consonant.

The correct way to make the sound is when the tongue tip is pressed against the gum ridge behind the upper front teeth and the airstream is continuously and passed over both sides of the tongue. Then the vocals cords are vibrating. When an unstressed syllable begins with t or d and ends with L, the l frequently becomes its own syllable. It is formed by keeping your tongue tip on you upper gum ridge without moving it from the position of the preceding t or d.
