    There is a G sound and there is a J sound.

    There is no need to invent a distinction between “hard” and “soft” G. A “soft G” is just a J.

      G can make a hard G sound or a soft G sound, the soft G is identical to J.

      It’s still a soft G sound though, because the letter is G.

        No, it’s just a G that is making a J sound.
