Re: y sound

An english j is not one sound, it is a combination of two sounds, d and
what english writes as zh (Z). French uses j to represent the sound
english writes zh (Z). Try saying d and zh very quickly one after the
other til they merge together and you'll have an english j. An english
ch is t + sh (tS) the same but unvoiced.
