>>The phonetic sound of ‘en’ and ‘em’ is a nasal ‘n’ (the phonetic character – I don’t know how to put here - is letter ‘a’ with squiggly line over it).
>>So, the sound should be the same – nasal ‘n’. But this ‘m’ is confusing me a lot and I tend to add the sound of ‘m’ right after the nasal ‘n’.
>>Is this correct that 'm' is pronounced lightly or should I just train my eyes to ignore the letter ‘m’?

Ok. This makes it even harder. For example, the word that you have helped to understand, "embêtant". Do you pronounce the 'm' in it on not?
Thank you.
