Are you listening to the girl (video) or the guy (speaker icon) in our dictionary? Or are you listening to another source? In our dictionary I definitely hear the "h" sound for the "j".

Spanish works like this: each letter has only one sound, so you put them all together... and you get the sound of the word. The J is harder than the English H in "hero"; the U sounds like "oo" in English in "boom", and the end of the word you heard more or less right.

I learned June [junio] as hoon-ee-yo.
