219: /g+n/ as in ”signal” and ”ignore”

This podcast helped like anything else before!
That`s it: I’ve never taken such great pronunciation classes like Mandy’s. I’m a big fan, really! Thank you all in Seattle Learning Academy for your efforts! I’ve done my contribution through the subscription on the website, and I strongly encourage other students to do the same or by the book, as a way of supporting such careful and dedicated work.
