Spanish Consonant
The Spanish letter J has a single pronunciation: a harsh, throaty sound, somewhat similar to the Parisian R or the CH in the Scottish word loch.
Por ejemplo…
jugo | juice | |
jamón | ham | |
jueves | Thursday | |
Jesús | Jesus | |
ajedrez | chess | |
caja | box |
Please note that this explanation is only a guideline for the Spanish that I know, which is Castilian Spanish. There are many regional variations in Spanish pronunciation.
