g     [hheh]  

 

The 'g' has three separate sounds. It can be hard, soft and it can also be like an 'h' sound.

After a pause or when it is followed by 'a', 'o', 'u' or 'n', the hard Spanish 'g' is almost like the 'g' in the word 'give'.

The soft 'g' sound does not exist in English. It is as if its almost not there, its that soft! It normally appears between vowels.

When the 'g' comes before 'e' or 'i'. It sounds like the 'h' in the word 'heat', only much raspier!
