    In Spanish, Q goes always followed by an U. After this combination of
    letters, can come only an E or an I. It is pronounced like QUE = KE, QUI =
    KI. The U is mute.
    G This sounds like it is with the combination of A, O, U. Galón, Gong,
    Gunther, and it changes into strong sounds with E, I (GE, GI).
    Softsounds GUE, GUI. To make this soft sounds with GUE and GUI, the air
    comes out from the throat gently. GUE like in GHETTO, GUI like in
    GUITAR.
