I doubt that you have the same "hard G" we have..because when we try to make foreign people pronounce "Scheveningen" (
Cinderella you'd know this word! :)) they really can't..they can't pronounce SCH as we do..for example,
Gabriel, Garage,
Gareth,
Gay, etc all have a soft G...Could you give me an example of a word that has a "hard G"? Not trying to offend/attack you Chrisell, but i'm curious what you consider a hard G...ours is a hard one, almost like you are gargling your throat...:)
