Struggling with the 'ng' vs 'nang' distinction when listening to podcasts

Posted by u/Immersionlearnertr_624 / May 30, 2026

I’m an immersion learner trying to move past subtitles, and the speed of native Tagalog content is really highlighting my gaps. Even when I listen closely, I can't tell if a speaker is using 'ng' as a marker or 'nang' for adverbs. Does anyone have a strategy for hearing this clearly, or should I use Chickytutor.com to have these specific audio clips broken down phonetically?
