...'S' would be nasalised, not 'n', right?
as in 先生 and せんしゅ. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

It depends on the pronunciation after ん。
１．In ば．ぱ．ま lines, ん is pronounced as「m」, for example, さんぽ（散歩）．しんぶん（新聞）。 ２．In た．だ．ら．な lines, ん...「n」, ..., もんだい（問題）．しんねん（新年）。 ３．In the other syllables & at the end of vocabularies, ん...「ng」, ヘンか（変化）．ばん（晩）。 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Sounds like fairly clear 'n' sounds to me.

Those sound pretty nasal to me. A generally good strategy is to treat ん as a nasal as often as possible, and let the shifts to n, ng, and m come naturally due to the following consonant. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Depending on the speaker, the speed and the context, you will get anything from n to a nasal e.
Do notice, however, that that ん in standard dialect is where the pitch goes up from the previous low pitch. In other words, I wouldn't be surprised if phonetic analysis of the first syllable of sensei showed se (barely nasalized if at all) followed by a nasal e. In a word like shinbun, you can even find shimbum with a nasal u. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
