This is how the word "handske" really sounds: http://sv.forvo.com/word/handske/#sv. The TTS is all wrong on this word.
Re-recording
The voice is not quite perfect on this sentence, as of August 11th, 2017, so I've taken the liberty of re-recording it.
As everybody in this thread has already noticed, handske should be pronounced with a hard k sound. The Forvo link is great, but I thought I'd record a version containing the full phrase.
Please find a correct recording on http://duolingo.vydea.io/257172f1d7a445878c36b9c106773471.mp3

Thanks for listening. Ha en bra dag! :)

I LOVE the pronounciation of "smutsig". every time I get a sentence with this word I keep playing it :'D

In principle yes, if we speak very clearly we probably say it as a hard g, but in practice we very often swallow the g completely in endings like this one instead, so that we just say smutsia.
