Hard g and soft g
The letter g can make a hard or a soft sound.
Gate, garter and grab all have hard g sounds.
The vowels e, i and y, however, can make a 'g' soft so it sounds like a j.
Germany, ginger and gym all have soft g sounds because of the vowels that follow the g.
There are some exceptions though. Girl and giggle, for example, have hard g sounds despite the i that follows the g.
