    It's pronounced at the part of the mouth where you'd say a K, but instead you say an H.

    В этой песне есть слово "хохотун" и многие "г" Высоц.кий произносит как "х".
    Это он, наверное, произносит как мягкое украинское "г"

    so in other words it sounds like the "Ch" in the word Character? ...
    How I wish, how i wish you were here. Were just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl. Year after Year. Running over the same ground, have we found, same old fear. Wish you were here.

    No!

    Because Ch in Character is pronounced the same as the C in Cat, and K in King.

    Just listen to a recording of it.

    you basically release air harder and faster but it doesn't come from your throat. It doesn't really sound like your clearing your throat. Just "heh". Kind of raspy. You force air out of your mouth a lil harder than you would with a regular "h" sound.

    Say a 'k' but keep the air flowing after you say the letter (don't move your tongue). That static-like sound is what 'x' sounds like, except it doesn't have the 'k' sound at the front

    Good explanation Although I'm not sure if it will work. I imagine people will drop the tongue down.
