I'd like to know how to pr. the female name Michal. It's from the Bible, I think, at least it's Hebrew. I've read it's pr. like Michael..?

In the UK, I have only ever heard it twice, but both times it was pronounced like Michael.

How is the Spanish "j" pronounced?

it's mi-CHAL
"mi" as in minister
"cha" as Shani said. It's like the "cha" in "Chanuka" is (supposed to be) pronounced. Also Like the "ch" in "Loch Ness" or in "Bach".
