In French, the phoneme "j" is the same as the English phoneme in the middle of the word "leisure". Although English has the phoneme, no English word starts with it. The rest of the word is approximately "aak"
If you are performing Shakespear's "As You Like It", the character Jaques is pronounced "jay-queez".

Zhark (that's pronouncing it the French way). It is French for 'James'.
The 'zh' is like the sound you get in "treaSure" and "viSion"
Rhymes with 'shark'.

You pronounce it just as you would a football "jock".
