This. I'm pretty certain it's a hard G sound, not a J sound.

Just flash those dimples. They'll all think you're adorable and won't care about any mispronunciation.

I stand corrected--I only go to all you can eat sushi bars and pick them off the boats as they go around.  That way I don't have to pronounce them.
