Pronunciation of Spanish "g"
I am reading an article about the pronunciation of the Spanish "g". I thought there were two ways ("soft" vs. "hard"). Like the difference between "gemela" and "gato".
The author of this article says that there are three distinctions:
- words like gato, goma, gula, guerra, and guiso...
- words like agarrar, egoísta, cigüeña and gigante...
- words like gemela, ángel or ingeniero...
I don't see the distinction between the first and the second. Is there a way to explain this to someone without getting into the technical IPA stuff? Are there comparable English sounds?
