In this lesson, I'll teach how to use the letter G in the correct way. For me, this is the most dificult letter in Spanish, because it has different sounds. If you see my post "Abecedario", you can see the different pronounciation of the letter g. You can see that when it's follewed by "a", "o" or "u", it sounds like "g" in "go". But when it's followed by "e" or "i", it's pronounces like an English "h", for example in "hello".
But.... What happens when you want to make the sound of "g" in "go", but followed by "e" or "i". Well, this has a special rule, and it's the following:
If you want to make that sound, you have to add an "u" between "g" and "e" or "i". After that we form "gue" and "gui", but remember, you musn't pronounce letter "u", this is an exception.
Examples:
Guerra (War), Gueto (Ghetto)
Guitarra (Guitar), Guión (Script)
