Two Sounds for c, g

c,g header
Usually c says /s/ and g says /j/ in front of e, i or y

2 sounds of C: c says /k/ or /s/

 

The letter c says the /k/ sound.  However, when it is followed by an e, i, or y it says the /s/ sound.  (Examples: city, cycle and cent).  We can thank the French for this softening of the c sound.
