What are other letters that sound like G?

There are no letters in the English alphabet that have exactly the same sound as "G" in all contexts. However, there are some letters and combinations of letters that can produce similar sounds depending on the word and the position of the letter within the word.

Here are some examples:

Similar "hard G" sound (as in "gate"):

* GH: often makes a "hard G" sound as in "ghost," "girl," "laugh"

* K: makes a "hard G" sound in words like "kite," "king," "kick"

* C: often makes a "hard G" sound before "a," "o," "u" as in "cat," "coat," "cup"

Similar "soft G" sound (as in "gem"):

* J: Often sounds similar to a "soft G" as in "gem," "gentle," "jump"

It's important to remember that these are just general guidelines. The actual sound of a letter combination can vary depending on the specific word and its pronunciation.
