Please hurry!!!!

Explain the pronunciation of h, g and j by comparing them to their sounds in English? Do they sound the same? Is there a sound that is familiar to you in your language?

Answer 1

H--different*

G--same

J--different**

Step-by-step explanation:

*"Hola" is pronounced "Ola."

**"Jalapeño" has an "h" sound at the beginning.

Answer 2

H- mostly is not pronounced
G- depends
J- the pronunciation that’s most used

Example with H:
Horizonte (Horizon):
the h isn’t pronounced.
Almohada (pillow) : the same goes here

Example with G:
Gema (gem): it is like the j sound that we would notice in Spanish.

Gaita (bagpipes): here the g has a different sound like the “gh-“ in English.

Pingüino (penguin) or dengue (a type of virus on mosquitos): they both have the “gue” or “gui” rule. It would sound like “ge” but with the ü it’s “gue”.

Example with j:
Jalea (Marmalade, also written as “Mermelada”): here is the j that would be most used.
