Welcome to the forum.

Pronunciation of G:

  1. When G is followed by E or I, you pronounce it like soft H (gente, gitano)

  2. When G is followed by A, O or U, you pronounce it like a hard G in "girl" (gato, gusto, goma).

  3. GUE and GUI - you don't pronounce the U (it's silent in these cases) and the G sounds hard like in "girl" (guerra, guitarra),

Creo que se pronuncia con el 'j' de 'jota' o 'jabón' o el 'g' de 'gemelos'
