Two ways to pronounce the letter N in British English: /n/ and /ŋ/.
How to make the /n/ sound, then practice with N at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of words.
The /ŋ/ sound, with a practice sentence to drill it.
The Silent N: common when N comes after an M, as in Autumn.
Some cool N words, and a tongue twister at the end.
N vs L: some learners mix these up because the mouth positions are similar. Practise this lesson and my Letter L lesson (link below) until both sounds are clear.
