Is there a correct way to pronounce Latin?
There are two main ways to pronounce Latin. The first is the classical pronunciation, an approximation of what Latin would have sounded like in Ancient Rome. This post is a guide to Classical Latin pronunciation. The second way is the ecclesiastical pronunciation (or “Church Latin”).
Is G in Latin hard or soft?
g before e, i, y, ae, oe is soft (as in gel): genitum (jeh-nee-toom); otherwise, g is hard (as in go): gaudeamus (gah-oo-deh-ah-moos). gn is pronounced ny: agnus (ah-nyoos). h is mute, except in special instances, when it is pronounced kh: mihi (mee-khee) and nihil (nee-kheel). j is pronounced as y: Jesu (yeh-soo).
