Pronunciation questions.

When you pronounce the n/m sound in a word, do you separate it into its own syllable or pronounce it together with the previous one.

For example: The word 本 ( ほん ) would you say "hon" or "ho-n."

Same for the "ou" sound, do I pronounce them together or seperate?
"ou" or "o-u."

Thanks.
