"Les gens" pronounciation

"Il avait même fallu que les autorités démentent le canular car beaucoup de gens y avaient cru !" In this sentence "les gens" was pronounced like "le jok". Is it correct?

Bonjour Marina,

I have listened to the passage, and I can't hear a -k at all.

The word should be pronounced as -

The ZH of measure, treasure, vision

+ the nasal sound EN

You may know the word 'genre', so remove the final 'RE,' and you have it.

Hope this helps!
