I so, the sound you heard for the "H" was hard(strong) or soft?

Actually, I wouldn't ever use "hard" or "soft" about an "h" sound. Only g's, c's, j's....... But now we know that we were all talking about different things...

Oooh! Yes, I want to hear sounds. The listening is the main thing that is lacking from my Spanish learning! Thanks, Chileno!!

Maybe you can do two recordings, one like a Chilean, and one like a Uruguazhan. :) (Only joking!)

@Perikles: It's actually "fuerte" and "suave". :)

And yes, "g" in "gato" is "suave" while "girafa" is "fuerte".


The sound of "g" in "giraffe" or "gem" is not associated to any "g" in Spanish... I find it rather related to "ll" or "y"... :thinking:

So after all that:

"g" in "gato" is "suave" while "girafa" is "fuerte".
..........................:approx: ................................:approx:
"g" in "gato" is "hard " while "girafa" is "soft ".

Thanks :).

It's not that often that the translation has to be made through antonyms. :)

Lo siento para interrumpir en el hilo , pero por lo menos mi pregunta es relacionado al tópico original:D:D

Hay una ciudad en España se llaman Zaragoza

¿Es la pronunciación (de español de España) así?

Thar-ah-ho-tha (g suave:thinking:
o
Thar-ah-goh-tha (g fuerte:thinking:

En otras palabras ¿cómo se pronuncia el "g" en Zaragoza.

PD. También ¿hay un nombre por "g" como (r = erre)

Thar-ah-goh-tha is ok, but "suave":

http://roble.pntic.mec.es/~msanto1/ortografia/ge.htm

El nombre de la letra g es "ge". Todas las letras tienen nombre:

a, be, ce, [che], de, e, efe, ge, hache, i, jota, ka, ele, [elle], eme, ene, eñe, o, pe, cu, erre (o ere), ese, te, u, uve, uve doble, equis, i griega (o ye), zeta.

This is Chilean pronunciation. Here the pronunciation in Spain. We call v and w in a different way, we say "erre" instead of "ere" and /ce/ instead of /se/ (pronunciation of "c" -ce-). :)

You can use the pronoun like to Gato- Cat

You say GE such as you can read this GE.

Also you can practice with Geronimo.

Germinado too.

Si quieres decir "Feliz Año Nuevo" y no puedes escribir la 'ñ', ¿qué letra usarás? ¿Y qué palabra resulta si sustiuyes la 'ñ' por la 'n'? :D

Cuando fui a Ecuador había un chico inglés en mi grupo que dijo que tenía 19 anos. No lo creí. :D
