'Germ' has a soft consonant sound at the beginning, because it is pronounced with a 'j' sound instead of a hard 'g.' An example of the latter would 'gone,' or 'great.' Another example of the former is, 'giant.'

The hard G makes almost like a K sound, but in a voiced sound or a voiced K, which is the general pronunciation and soft G makes a J sound. For the hard and soft consonants, we use C and G and these consonants sound similar but the C is the voiceless consonant while the G is the voiced consonant. If the G is followed by an E, I or Y, then it'll soften and make a J sound. If the G is followed by any other letters or at the word ending, then it'll remain hard.

The first letter in "cabaret" is a hard "c", pronounced the same as the letter "k". A soft "c" sound is like the letter "s", and generally occurs only when the "c" is followed by the vowels "e" or "i" (or "y" acting as a vowel). For example, the "c"s in "center" and "citation" are soft. The "c"s in "cast", "corner", and "cupcake" are hard.
