Many people are familiar with pronouncing "Jose" as "ho-SAY". This is because, in Spanish, the J is pronounced as a hard H. Therefore "Jacobo" is pronounced "ha-KO-bo".

For extra points, do not pronounce the Os as long Os, that is, do not say ha-KOE-boe. Pronounce the O, and no other vowel. In Spanish all vowels are short.
