A new word again :)
This time I don't really know how to pronunce: ojalá (from ojalá que sí). The J, is it pronunced very silent/soft like the h in house? Or ist it pronunced like a soft "ghaa"? I don't know an English word to describe what I mean and the g may be understand different than what I mean. Anyway, if the j is not very soft and sillent I know what the correct alternative should be :) But I can't explain it. A bit like and Arabian sound? Like scraping your throat a little. Does it sound like Mujer for instance? (That j is not very soft/silent either.) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Yes, if you know how to pronounce mujer, you can pronounce ojalá.
