English from the Roots Up- Need Help!

So I started EFRU vol. 1 with my girls. I am just getting to card 21 which is jacio jactum. In the teacher notes it said that the j was pronounced as a 'y' sound. At the beginning of the book it didn't say to pronounce the j sound in any special way. I'm not familiar with Latin so I am really confused. How do I and my girls, pronounce the 'j' sound? I want them to continue learning latin after this and don't want to confuse them.

Thanks!

If you're going to start classical Latin I would pronounce them yakio yaktum, as that's what will be in the Latin book. It's not a big deal at this stage of the game though! Your Latin book will teach the pronunciation and they'll pick it up then.
