The letter "g" is called "ge" and spelled like the Spanish "je" (or "jota").

What sound is that? Let's try the following: Say the words "crab", "crystal" and "crazy". Focus your attention on the first "k"-sound of these words and speak it out loud in isolation a couple of times. Next, leave out the "k" itself and what's left now is a hissing sound that you're making with your tongue while you're breathing out. That is rougly the way that this above mentioned "je" (or "ge") is supposed to sound like.

Note that the "g" can have different sounds in combination with different vowels (like "ga", "gua" or "gui" for example). To see them all, let me invite you to browse through the next pages!
