Can't seem to find an answer to this one. Does anyone else know the answer to this question? Thanks. | ||

In my southern UK English accent I'd say it with a hard g. Richard English | |||

Welcome, Brigid! In American English it is a hard "g." | |||

Personally, I say it as if the g is doubled; softer in the stressed syllable; harder in the unstressed, if this makes sense. | |||

It does make sense, and now that you say it that way, that's also how I pronounce it. | |||
