Help with the "gy" sound
Szia!
I've met a lovely lady from Hungary and am trying my hardest to learn the language. I have had some facetime calls with her and we practice words/pronunciation etc. I am struggling with the "gy" sound (hogy vagy, egy vagy... etc)
When she says a word with the "gy" sound, I really struggle to replicate the sound. She finds it quite funny and although I imagine it is quite amusing, I really want to nail the pronunciation now haha.
I am from the Midlands in England and after some research, I've noticed the gy sound is supposed to sound like a soft english "dy"... not sure if that is true or not
I have attached a link to a video of my current pronunciation. Would love some tips.
Köszönöm!
