I had a Spanish professor a couple of semesters ago who had the harshest /x/ sound i had heard. Everyone in class would always imitate him when we repeated words he was teaching us with that sound. At first it got a lot of smiles when we all first heard it. For me oldhabits die hard, so i always pronounce my j's and g's before i or e as /h/ as all of my other Spanish professors do (they were mostly Mexican, or Central American) ____________________________ Yours truly, Cesar Javier Jaime Garcia
