Same as American.
For 'ing', lift the back of your tongue for the 'ng' sound.
The stress is on the first syllable: 'land'.
It might blend with 'n', but 'd' should be pronounced clearly.
To come down to the ground from the air.
/lænd/
The ground or soil.
/ˈlændər/
A spacecraft designed to land on a planet.
/ˈlændɪŋ strɪp/
A runway or strip of ground for landings.
Adding 'ing' makes it two syllables instead of one in 'land'.
Stressing more on the second syllable differentiates from 'lander'.
Focus on clear 'ing' ending not present in 'landing strip'.
Keep the back of your tongue raised for a smooth 'ng' to avoid adding a hard 'g'.
Practice with emphasis on the first syllable to improve stress accuracy.
