How do you say the letter g in French?

Answer 1

The letter G is pronounced "jay", like the bird, in French.

The difficulty with J and G are that the pronounciations are reversed in French and English (the French J sounding like the English G, the French G like the English J)

In terms of how the letter "g" is pronounced in words, it has a hard form (like the English "g" in "go") and a soft form (like the English "s" in "leisure"). The hard g is used in front of all consonants and the vowels a, o, and u. The soft g is used only when g is in front of the vowels e and i.

Answer 2

In French, the letter "g" is pronounced like the English "zh" sound as in "leisure" when followed by an "e," "i," or "y" (e.g., "je," "gi," "gymnastique"). In other cases, it is pronounced like the English hard "g" as in "good" (e.g., "garçon," "grand").
