G is more silent in pronunciation. In a real simple sense, pronouncing "g" in Spanish is a lot like pronouncing a silent "h" in English ( such as in "hour").
Jugar, you have it down, who-gar.
Gimnasio, him-nas-ee (as in cheese)-o

for jugar: hugar
for gimnacio: gimnasio
En español las palabras se pronuncian como suenan. En tu idioma, la h se pronuncia como una j en el mio. Gimnacio no es "kimnasio" ni "himnasio" es gimnasio como suena: In Spanish the words are pronounced as they sound. In your language, the h is pronounced as j in mine. Gym is not "kimnasio" or "himnasio is fitness as it sounds. Maybe this can help http://spanish.about.com/od/tipsforlearningspanish/u/start.htm

I know what you mean.The Spanish -J-jota and the -G- before -e- and-i- sound the same.However they are not like the-H-.If your only language is English then there is no sound like that in English.In German and Dutch,Greek and Arabic they have this letter too.It is never a -k- or an -h.The letter can be sounded at the end of a word ,the-h-can not.

J is pronounced like our H and the G can have either a soft sound like a silent H - himnasio or a hard sound like the G (guh) like in Guatamala or gusto

1) Spanish is not Hebrew, Greek, or English. 2) Jesus is pronounced "hey-SOOS" in Spanish. 3) Dr. Seuss pronounced his name "Soice," like "rejoice." 4) "Zeus" wasn't a name, but a title and just meant "god" in ancient Greek. Just like "Allah" isn't a name and just means "God." 4) In Greek, "Zeus" is pronounced "Zevfs." (It was pronounced this way in Jesus' day, as it is today in Greece. Academic Greek teachers generally pronounce it as English speakers do.) "Zeus" was also inflected as "Dios," which today means "god" in some languages. 5) "Jesus" is a Latinized form of a Hellenlized form of the Hebrew "Yehoshua," which means "Jehovah is salvation."

J in spanish is always pronounced as an h
-i.e. anaranjado
G followed by an i or e (Gi or ge) is pronounced as an h.
-i.e. general
G followed by an a, o, or u is pronounced as G (jee)
-i.e. ganar, guapo (if there's a u it turns into a gwah sound)

u have juagar pronounced right
g is not pronounced like an k though - g
when followed by 'e' or 'i', like 'ch' in "loch" , otherwise like "g" in "go" (gato). In the clusters "gue" and "gui", the "u" is silent (guitarra), unless it bears a diaeresis, as in "güe" and "güi" (pedigüeño)
