French nasal sounds occur when a vowel is followed by a single n or m in the same syllable, as shown in Table
1 . You must use your nose (which should vibrate a bit) and your mouth to make these sounds.

Keep in mind that the following combinations do not require nasalized vowel sounds:
-
vowel + nn or mm: bonne (pronounced like bun in English)
-
vowel + n or vowel + m: mine (pronounced like mean in English)
