How to pronounce words ending in -ing?

The importance of pronouncing -ing

With an unperceptive -ing sound, unfortunately, words such as “thin” “thing” and ” think” end to be pronounced exactly the same. Luckily, I found a really useful example to understand how to pronounce -ing. The English “-ing” ending should sound like the “in” in the Spanish word “Cinco”, where our throat closes up just before you get to the last syllable -co. The tongue must not touch your teeth or the roof of your mouth when you end the word.
